Nifty: near term sluggishness, but no signs of a collapse

Thought for the day

Word for the day

A trusty, honest fellow.

Ain't it?
First random thought this morning
The boisterous herd of global traders and punters has found a new worrytoy in the Italian constitutional referendum, to play with. The referendum is likely to take place in late November.
This is after Brexit did not play exactly the way this herd may have wanted it to; and Trump appears offering much less resistance to Hillary, than earlier anticipated.
Italian referendum is being marketed as critical for EU survival.

Nifty: near term sluggishness, but no signs of a collapse

The momentum in the market has completely collapsed, as the market participants wait for a material trigger.
As suggested last week (see here) the market participants, and hence markets, may continue remain in the wait'n'watch mode for few more trading sessions.
In the mean time Nifty is close to completing a good correction on the daily charts, obliterating most of the overbought conditions. 8490 on closing basis is a strong support on daily charts.
The corrective formations on the weekly charts are also showing encouraging signs. Despite three consecutive negative weekly closings, there is no sign of a collapse taking place there.
I shall be watching India VIX and volume charts closely for pick up in the momentum. A bottoming out in VIX, which is at almost lowest level in two years, shall trigger a 10% very fast move in the market.
My wager, like the majority view, would be on an the up move.
