  • S&P 500 hour chart is trading in a range of 14 points. 1091 - 1105.

  • If 1105 is broken convincingly we can see a rally of 10 points.

NIFTY daily chart analysis

NIFTY DAILY CHART
NIFTY WEEK CHART
  • Nifty daily chart is looking positive with the index closing above the broadening pattern. Now the index should trade above 5600 for the bullishness to continue.
  • Any dip below 5600 will be negative.
  • Nifty's weekly line chart is showing a breakout above the resistance line.
  • This week should close above 5550 for the breakout to sustain on closing basis. If nifty comes back and closes below 5550 we may not have a breakout on weekly closing basis.
  • The worst scenario for bulls would be a whipsaw in weekly chart which can have catastrophic results like what we had back in 2008.

S&P 500 Analysis after closing bell

  • S&P 500 has closed the day below the crucial 61.8% Fib level.
  • But the index is still trading above 20 and 50 DMA. This should keep the bulls interested.
  • 50 DMA is at 1082 if this level break the correction can be big.
  • The daily chart also has a negative sma cross, 20 DMA is below 50 DMA. 
  • Today bears had an upper hand but i still feel that both trades are possible from here. clarity should emerge soon.
