Outlook for Today:
On Japanese candlestick patterns the index has formed a second consecutive doji pattern. This indicates that the indecisiveness amongst investors continues. The next candle formation will confirm whether the bias is towards the buy or sell side of the market.
However, the index is above its 5, 15 and 200 days moving averages. Further, the 5 days moving average and 200 days moving averages are rising. Moreover, the velocity parameters are also positively trended. All these indicate a positive bias and the possibility of an up move unfolding.
Investors are advised to hold long positions.
Work with strict stop losses on all positions.
