CHART BASED CONCLUSIONS using 5 Minutes Chart

Nifty opened with a modest gap-up and then created the day’s high and then fell 150 points before recovering 100+ points and retesting the earlier close.

And just as FTSE had opened, the commencement of what ended up as a free fall of 250+ points started. In the last 90 minutes, the fall intensified.

Bank Nifty outperformed Nifty today and only because of that Nifty manage to end above 18100.

Nifty has thus made a higher high but a disappointing lower low.

INSIGHTS / OBSERVATIONS

  • How well Supports & Resistances work are shown in this tweet. From the level drawn earlier, Nifty never made an attempt to retest or come anywhere near the level:

  • Bank Nifty was all over the place and in the end, ensured that Nifty does not break 18000. This is what I observed just before the fall started:

  • What has happened today has always been happening in the markets and is nothing new. But the sentiment was settling in as bullish, and today’s abrupt free fall has washed away the sandcastles built by the bulls. It is time to regroup, review and rework.
  • The only way one can appreciate the market moves is by looking at either 5-minute charts or a lower timeframe than that. There is no other way to get a good feel of what happened in the market today.
  • On the 5-minute chart, the last 90 minutes did not witness a single candle that could breach the high of the previous candle. Sometimes, technical analysis and price action are so simple and obvious [most of the time in hindsight] and yet very hard to follow in real life.
