Nifty: Collapse prevented, trend reversal yet far away

Thought for the day
"The production of too many useful things results in too many useless people."
Karl Marx (German, 1818-1883)
Word for the day
Insouciant (adj)
Free from concern, worry, or anxiety; carefree; nonchalant.

Malice towards none
"Intolerance" drama of 2015-16 is no different from the "Policy Paralysis" drama of 2012-14.
The actors though have reversed their roles, with villains of yesteryears playing the protagonist today and vice versa.
First random thought this morning
There is increasing evidence suggesting that Japan is heading the Japan way. The excesses of last two decades might take an equal amount of time to get absorbed and adjusted. The rest of the world though might move on in couple of years. There is no point worrying too much about China. We should rather look for opportunities.

Nifty: Collapse prevented, trend reversal yet far away

Nifty successfully tested its midterm support level of 7200 (recording a low of 7241) last week and closed above its significant resistance level of 7560 on monthly charts. On weekly charts also Nifty is forming a strong bottom. A close above 7610 this week will confirm even a short term bottom in 7350-7440 range. On Daily charts though Nifty appears little hot and may need some cooling down.
1.    With this Nifty has made a firm bottom in 7190-7240 range on medium term charts. Any fall below 7350 on intra month basis in next 3months may be a good buying opportunity for investors with 3-5yr horizon.
2.    Market may witness rise in intraday volatility in the market. If not accompanied with material rise in implied volatility, traders with 3-6months horizon may use such intraday falls as buying opportunities.
3.    Short Bank Nifty - Long Nifty trade could be close to maturity. About 1% further outperformance of Nifty may provide opportunity to short term traders to initiate a Long Bank Nifty - Short Nifty pair trade.
4.            Short trade might be avoided for this week. Short position, if any, may be held with strict stop loss of 7610 Nifty level on closing basis.
