Outlook for Today:
On Japanese candlestick patterns the index has formed a fourth consecutive and long black body candle. In fact yesterday’s candle is almost like a Black Marubozu candle. (A Black Marubozu forms when the open equals the high and the close equals the low). The body of this candle is below and outside the body of the previous black body candle. This is negative.
Further, the index is below its 5, 15, 25 and 200 day moving averages and all the four averages are declining. Moreover, the 5 day moving average has crossed below the 25 day moving average. The velocity parameters too indicate weakness. All these indicate a negative bias and the possibility of a further decline unfolding. Incidentally, the index is approaching a major support level at the 7539 points level. There is a possibility that the index could find some support and reverse from there. However, if it declines below it, then a further decline could be expected. Investors are advised to avoid buying at present levels.
