INDEX S&P CNX Nifty : 5,720 Sensex : 18,918 NIFTY LEVELS Support : 5550, 5485 Resistance : 5850, 5930 RISING CORRELATION ERODES DIVERSIFICATION Nifty for the month of February closed with a loss of 342 points. February was the first monthly candle since 7 months, where it broke the trend of higher tops and higher bottoms. This is a very significant development which implies trend reversal. The first anticipated target on the downside of 5650 is almost achieved and the Nifty could slide towards 5550 / 5485. Any pullback on Nifty is expected to witness supply pressure around 5850. In dollar terms, Nifty has failed to sustain above its swing high of $115 and this sets up expectation of negative fund flows from FII investors. Seasonality effect on Nifty indicates that, momentum can accelerate in late March which can continue throughout April. Point and figure chart indicates a pivotal breakdown below 5600 for Nifty. The Inter-market indicators point toward negative sentiments with falling commodity prices (positive correlation with Nifty), depreciating rupee and gradually rising India & Global VIX (negative correlation with Nifty). Dollar index has surpassed its immediate resistance of 81 and this development can lead to selling pressure in other world currencies. This can lead to panic liquidation in emerging equity markets in anticipation of falling currency. Historically, a rising global VIX increases the correlation between developing and developed equity markets and therefore, the diversification benefit for global fund managers is expected to erode. Sector rotation chart indicates IT as an outperformer and all other sectors could remain a laggard. Banks, Media, Realty & FMCG could continue to underperform.

S&P CNX INDEX NIFTY SUPPORT LINE NIFTY IN $ Nifty witnessed a breakdown from a medium term trend line at 5980. This breakdown was confirmed when the Nifty re-tested the trend line and again headed towards the south. The downside is expected to continue until a reversal pattern becomes visible. Nifty in dollar terms failed to sustain above the earlier swing high of $115 and has confirmed a breakdown. The chart indicates that further profit booking can be expected from the foreign investors. NIFTY POINT AND FIGURE NIFTY SEASONALITY Point and Figure chart of Nifty indicates support at 5600 below which, 5400 will be important. A breach below 5600 will lead to next leg of sustainable downside. Seasonality effect on Nifty indicates that late March has been a phase of acceleration in trend. There is a fair chance for this pattern to duplicate in the coming month.
INTER-MARKET GSCI - GLOBAL COMMODITY INDEX USDINR GSCI Commodity index did not manage a breakout from the long term resistance of the trend line. Short term trend suggests a reversal and the index could be headed lower. Positive correlation with Nifty also seems to be rising. INDIA VIX USDINR is headed higher but is yet to confirm a breakout from the important resistance of 56. Sustenance above 56 can lead to sustainable depreciation of rupee against dollar. GLOBAL EQUITY ROTATION India VIX is forming a rounding bottom which indicates that the VIX is expected to breakout in near term. Temporary resistance exists at 17.50 above which sentiments can turn negative for Nifty. Global equity relative strength chart indicates that Nifty has turned to be an underperformer and the momentum has increased. FII s outflow is therefore expected to accentuate.
