28 December 2012: Nifty Elliott wave analysis: It was another oscillation on the failure of higher threshold at 5923. Technical support in the zone of 5838-5823. It may remain directionless.


You must read previous articles and watch the given chart carefully to understand this article completely.



Today’s outlook: -
Nifty has opened higher yesterday but it was never above 5923 expect first second of trade. We have seen the result of this failure in second half. Technical charts are showing that we are still the shown downward channel. I have already said that this market will give the outcome what is not looking like to come. You expect up but it will come down, if you expect down it will go up.
We need to note that it is more than a month that we are still trading near to 5900 levels. It took few attempts to cross higher but failed every time. It has saved lower band too. At current levels we cannot say anything confidently that it is going to give breakout or breakdown. I am giving higher priority to the channel which it is forming on the chart. With that downward channel support is also shifting lower. So we need to see the levels of 5838 to 5823 as support band. Suppose, if market goes below this support band then it will try to take a decisive down. I must say that technical indicators had given buy and sell both in past few weeks but all has failed. As of current formation, it is giving me a direction down but it is not going down yet.
MACD and RSI are still trading with moving weakness. I am giving some priority to 20 days exponential moving average. After crossing higher above 20 EMA, it is stay above this only. Now if it breaks it on the lower side then 4-5 days of downside it unavoidable.   
Conclusion Nifty: We have not got the clarity over US fiscal cliff situation yet. I have already said that market will not be comfortable unless we see some decision in USA. Nifty failed to sustain above 5923 and closed with a sell off. It turns out to be the dead expiry month. I am sensing for flat opening and directionless movement. If it trades below 5838 for 5 minutes then it will invite some decisive sell off but even 5838 looks too far from here.  .
S&P 500 – I have already discussed for resistance at 1445 and a possibility to test 1400. It hit 1400 almost in the last trading session. Take a note that it is still not strong enough to buy. No solution is coming over US fiscal cliff till now. Market is expecting a solution but it is not getting. With yesterday’s strong pullback one need to see the follow up of trades. In a clear way, if S&P 500 closed positive today then a rise is expected again else fall to hit 1385. You cannot conclude every single day.
