Swing Confidence → 25


⦿ Both Nifty & Smallcap are in a weekly upswing. On daily charts, while Nifty is in a confirmed downswing, Smallcap is in early upswing. Swing Confidence is now 25, which means that the LOST (long-only swing traders) can trade only very cautiously with minimum open risk.

⦿ Nifty is now stuck in a 1000 point range between 19200 to 20200. Any decisive resolution will be beyond a breach of any of these 2 levels. As we are in already a HH-HL formation, till the lower pivot is broken, a bullish outcome seems more likely.

⦿ Majority of indices are in a confirmed downswing.

Breadth →  Strong but weakening


⦿ % of stocks above 20-day MA stays below 50, very close to last week’s levels.

⦿ As long as % of stocks above 50-day MA are >50%, we are are above the bullish threshold.

⦿ % of stocks above 200-day MA stay comfortably bullish & sustainability 80+ for 3 consecutive weeks now.

⦿ Net breadth stays positive.

Bias → Sideways


⦿ Nifty has closed just above the 50-day MA, but as Nifty is neither above nor below the 50-day MA for 3-consecutive days, the bias is sideways.

⦿ Net New Highs stay positive for 3-consecutive days. 

⦿ On a lower timeframe, the 20-day NNH continue to be negative. With the 52-week NNH positive, this signifies a  phase of correction. If the 20-day NNH becomes positive again, it can be taken as completion of the pullback & resumption of the bullish move.
