OUTLOOK FOR TODAY:
On Japanese candlestick patterns the index after having formed a long black body candle has formed a spinning top indicating indecisiveness amongst investors. The next candle formation will confirm whether the bias is towards the buy or sell side of the market.
However, the index has crossed above the 5 day’s moving average. This is positive. But, the index is still below the 15, 25 and 200 day’s moving averages. The velocity parameters continue to indicate weakness. Both these indicate a negative bias. Investors are advised to avoid buying at present levels.
