Reigning The Nifty - 7th December, 2009

Bullish closing for the week. Viewing bearishly, fall from 5182 to 4538 took just 3 weeks but the rise from 4538 has taken 4 weeks and still not scaled 5182. Formation of a rising wedge from June highs of  4582 onwards.

 Weekly Chart

Daily Chart

The Nifty closed exactly at 5108 from which point it had broken out to touch 4181 to form a double top.Till 4181 is taken out the bearishness of the double top looms large.
To refresh memory,  The double top is a major reversal pattern that forms after an extended uptrend. As its name implies, the pattern is made up of two consecutive peaks that are roughly equal, with a moderate trough in-between.
However, double tops can form along the way up, but until key support is broken, a reversal cannot be confirmed.The key support here would be 4538.

Daily Line Chart

Volume analysis show that the rise to the formation of the double top have been average not low.The down week was on low volumes.

Volume Check on Weekly Charts

Though the Nifty hit resistance exactly at the earlier high of 5182, more evidence will be required to turn bearish. One could be bullish as the Nifty is holding well above the neckline of the inverse head and shoulders and on the other hand one can be bearish as the Nifty has broken down from the uptrendline from March lows.

Half Hourly Chart

Moving averages are bearishly aligned on half hourly charts. The Nifty is moving in a downtrending channel which  could be consolidation or the beginning of a downtrend. The daily and weekly charts are in uptrend  and the half hourly charts are in a downward correction.

Trade long  on breakout from the channel else trade short with a stop of 5200.



Happy Trading !!
