Resistance (1) = 8210; Resistance (2) = 8248.
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 had dropped below its 15 day moving average. The index is now below its 5, 15 and 200 day moving averages. Further, the velocity parameters which were positively trended have now turned neutral. All these indicate a negative bias and the possibility of a further decline unfolding. Investors are advised to avoid buying at current levels.
