Technicals for week ending – 24th April 2016.

Nifty Weekly
Still continue with the consolidation theme, but slightly leaning to the bearish side TILL we do not close above 8k on the Nifty index.

Risks/Observations:
On the weekly chart the difference between the Open & Close was flat compared to the high & low which is showing some indecision.

On the daily chart it is clearly visible that the 8k zone on Nifty has been visited several times in the past and has acted as Support & Resistance. A break above 8k would be a positive but till then better to wait it out.

The dollar index and USD-INR pair bounced off support zones in the last week – trends in the currency space could play a big role in the Equity outlook.

On the VIX projected range chart we have closed above the upper boundary and max high looks to be in the area near 8k. (We also have a massive build-up in the 8k strike call option since the start of this series!)

Seeing some improvement in the Nifty/Bond ratio chart as it is sustaining above its 10 week moving average but momentum yet to confirm.

The most bullish data point looks to be the Sectoral & Broader indices that are trading above their respective 40 week moving averages.

Auto, Energy, Metal & Realty indices are the potential outperformers as they are performing better than the Nifty & the 10 Year Bond Index (Refer Weekly Relative Strength Charts).

To conclude – the weight of the evidence suggests a stance to the neutral to bearish side, while the most important point to look for will be if we can breakout above 8k.
