Outlook for Today:
On Japanese candlestick patterns the index after having formed a doji pattern has formed a long white body candle on higher volumes. In fact, yesterday's candle is almost like a white body Marubozu candle. (A White Marubozu forms when the open equals the low and the close equals the high). This is positive and indicates that the bias has shifted towards the buy side of the market. Further, the index has crossed above its 5 day moving average. All these indicate a positive bias.
However, the index is still below its 15, 25 and 200 day moving averages. Further, the velocity parameters continue to remain negatively trended. Both these indicate a negative bias. As such these are mixed signals. Investors are advised to adopt a wait and watch policy, until a clearer signal emerges.
