Outlook for Today:
On Japanese candlestick patterns the index has formed a doji pattern. This indicates 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 is below its 5 day moving average. This is negative.
But, the index is still above its 15, 25 and 200 day moving averages and all the averages are rising and also positively trended. Further, the velocity parameters indicate strength. All these indicate a positive bias and the possibility of a further up move unfolding. Investors are advised to hold long positions but with a strict stop loss at the 15-day average at the 8849 point’s level.
