Technical Outlook: Bullish momentum looses steam.....
The two events that we had forecasted have come together. Price has reached (and slightly exceeded) the 5765 target on the time date of 29th. Using some of the hourly charts and applying other Gann techniques (like a Gann Wheel trendline) on it also we find that yesterday's high managed to hit the projected resistances that were placed at around 5780 levels. This chart is attached in today's letter and readers should study it carefully. There were multiple clusters in the region of 5745-5785 using multiple methods and hence the forecast to take profits on long positions if that was reached on a TCD. Any top or bottom expectation is enhanced if it occurs on a TCD.
Now the key event of course is follow thru to the downside. Just making a high is good for only profit taking on longs. For creating a short position or expecting a reverse of the trend there has to be actual price movement in the other direction. Note the rising (steepest of the 3) trendline shown on the chart. The prices seems to be ready to break it. Prices yesterday broke one swing low on intra day charts and the break of the second swing low is awaited. Typically, when a trend is about to reverse, it breaks prior two swing lows. This will happen if the prices were to move and trade below 5730 or so today.
Another method we use consistently is the relation of the day's trading to the daily and weekly pivots. The rise has helped the daily pivot to now move just under yesterday close - near about 5740 levels. No doubt, on the earlier day too the prices were very near the daily pivot and that formed the low! So if the prices were to move down beneath 5730 then it would actually trip up two negative signals. So move stops on all positions to below 5730 now.
The option positions however continue to indicate further gains ahead. About 50L shares were added in the 5700+5800 puts. This is big and suggests an expiry beyond 5800? Interestingly, a change yesterday is that there is no addition in the next ITM Put. So it appears that we are near the end of the line here? Price expansions above yesterday high indicate a target around 5805/5845.
Now we are at a situation where forecasting methods tell us that we are about done while Option positions tell us that there is more to come. For the latter possibility, we have provided the higher targets. Take your pick.
STRATEGY FOR THE DAY: If we get higher prices, then we would treat them as some kind of bonus return! Hence our advise continues to remain to take profits off the table, if any. Day traders can continue to participate with longs if the rise continues and almost all shares look good for that. For those looking for weakness, the lower conditions are described and readers should watch for those to be met.
