Nifty: Breakout in October?


Thought for the day
"Why can we remember the tiniest detail that has happened to us, and not remember how many times we have told it to the same person."
—Francois de La Rochefoucauld (French, 1613-1680)
Word for the day
Eutaxy (n)
Good order or management.
Malice towards none
Winter is certainly arriving early this year and promises to be harsh
 
First random thought this morning

Take one common person from the streets of Lahore and Delhi.

I will wholeheartedly support all war cries against Pakistani people, if any one of the studio experts, warmongers rallying at social media and feudal lords of Mumbai, could tell me any difference between these two persons.

Nifty: Breakout in October?

On past many occasions we have observed that the change in monthly average trading value is a useful leading indicator for Nifty movement in the coming month.

Any divergence in the monthly movement of Nifty and monthly average traded value is usually bridged in the next following 1-3months, depending on the movement in VIX.

If VIX also moves sharply with Nifty, then the divergence may take little longer to bridge. Otherwise, the convergence is seen in 4-6week period.

The following chart of Nifty movement since February this year shows that the convergence An analysis of past six months would show that the divergence is usually bridged in the following 4week period.

MTD in September 2016 Nifty has gained 1% from August closing, whereas the MTD average trading value is higher by 2% MoM. Presently the value of Nifty (8831.55) and monthly trading average for September MTD (8831.52) are the same. Any further correction in Nifty from here will lead to widening of divergence and improve the chances of a converging pattern next month.

I see the up move facing some resistance around 8866 level and a strong resistance around 8978-8999 range. 8774 is immediate support and 8630-8640 a strong support base.

A close above 8774 this month shall see Nifty breaking 9K barrier in next 4-6weeks and mark a new high, before a meaningful correction sets in.
As suggested last week (see here) Bank Nifty appears to be losing momentum. Watch closely for a weekly close outside 19560-20340 range to decide the next course of action. Near term banks are avoidable for trading.
