Lets move to technical of Nifty

 

Nifty Hourly

On Hourly chart Nifty is forming Rising Wedge formation which is bearish for short term. 4910 will be the point of invalidation for the rising wedge formation. There is persistent negative divergence on hourly charts. There are 2 Gaps  on charts as pointed out in above chart which needs to be watched closely on any downside.

Nifty Daily

On Daily charts Nifty is moving into overbought zone as per Stochastic and negative divergence on RSI. Nifty has corrected on Friday from the resistance level of 4900-4910. As daily chart looks overbought so a correction can commence next week. EU downgrade can be the potential trigger for the correction.

Nifty Fibonacci Resistance Whipsaw while Sensex did not gave the whipsaw

I has talked about the importance of 4883 as its 61.8% retracement level of 4532-5099 and it got crossed on Friday Afternoon,but unable to close above it.

Lets look at the sensex chart for the same time frame and to my surprise

Sensex did not crossed the 61.8% Resistance

Nifty might give whipsaw but sensex never give the same. It has happened many time before but wanted to share this instance with the readers.

Nifty Weekly

On Weekly chart Nifty again reacted from trendline resistance and till Nifty does not close above 4910 medium trend remains down.

 

Nifty Monthly

 

On Monthly chart Nifty again reacted from trendline resistance which shows supply pressure coming on weekly and monthly chart. Caution with longs.

One more observation is from january Small Cap and Mid Cap  Index is up 11%  while Nifty is up 5% which means Midcaps have outperformed the Nifty.

Any Bear market will never end with Mid caps and Small Cap outperforming Nifty so i will consider the following rally as Bear market rally.

 

Nifty Trend Deciding Level:4804

Nifty Resistance:4910,4945,5010

Nifty Support:4741,4686,4617
