NIFTY
CMP- Rs 7210.75 (19.01.16)

Market closed weekly in positive territory. It consolidated in range for last entire week with high volatility. It so far failed to extend on down side for wave-V on daily chart as expecting.  All the other indices such as Bankex, midcap, small cap etc also closed weekly in positive territory. Few of the evidences are started to show clue for short term reversal at the end of weekly trading session. It showing sign of end of correction at recent lows of 6869 levels on nifty but I would like to wait for one or two more trading session to get level wise (Price wise) confirmation to finally conclude short term trend reversal.

Short term out look for the market remains negative till nifty trades below Rs 7250 levels & expecting targets in the range of 6850-6800 levels in short term. Broader market ( Midcap, small cap Indices) & Bank nifty created negative divergence in short term at the end of weekly trading session., its not a good sign for short term, if market has completed correction.  These indices has to also participate in rally if its end of correction. One should also watch out these indices behaviour apart from main index (nifty/Sensex) behaviour to finally conclude short term trend reversal. Medium term out look for the market still remains negative till nifty trades below Rs 7600 levels. Rs 7000/7300 levels on nifty are crucial support & Resistance levels respectively for short term based on derivative option open interest data for this expiry. Market will remain volatile ahead of expiry next week & also followed by Union budget at the end of this month. Momentum indicators daily KST & daily MACD came in to BUY may create volatility in short term. Close above short term reversal levels will lead to sharp rally till 7420-7500 levels in short term one should be stock specific & follow the trend with stop loss levels till it reverses.
