Trend → Uptrend under pressure

⦿ Smallcap, Microcap, FMCG & Auto indices which entered a confirmed uptrend last week, are back in uptrend under pressure now.

⦿ Service index is the only one in a confirmed downtrend.

Momentum → Negative & worsening


⦿ Majority of the indices have negative & worsening momentum.

⦿ Midcap, Auto, Infra & IT join indices with negative & worsening momentum.

⦿ There is no index with positive & improving momentum.

Swing Confidence 0

⦿ Both Nifty & Smallcap are in a weekly upswing. On daily charts, both are in a confirmed downswing. Swing Confidence is now 0, which means no new fresh swing positions for now. Existing positions, if any, should be having 0 open risk.

⦿ Nifty broke down from the 1000 point range between 19200 to 20200, to take support at 18800-18900 levels, giving us day one of an attempted rally. The current distribution day count is 9, as this week added 2 more distribution days.

⦿ Majority of indices are in a confirmed downswing.

Breadth →  Weak

⦿ Breadth as per moving averages: % of stocks above both 10-day & 20-day MA  went briefly oversold, & now stay below 50. As % of stocks above 50-day MA are <50%, we are are below the bullish threshold. After staying comfortably bullish & sustainability 80+ for 7 consecutive weeks, the % of stocks above 200-day MA now stands around 70.

⦿ After staying negative for 3 sessions, Net breadth as per 4% advance & decline has turned positive.

⦿ Market breadth volume, after the strong red days, has gone low to the territory of 0.25 to 5, as expected. This decrease in volume indicates reduction in participation & possibly less sustainable breakouts.

Bias → Sideways


Currently, the bias is sideways.

⦿ Nifty has stayed below the 50-day MA for 3-consecutive days. 

⦿ While Net New Highs are positive, they are neither positive nor negative for 3-consecutive days yet. So the bias is sideways.

⦿ On a lower timeframe, the 20-day NNH stays negative.
