NIFTY CLOSE- 10226.85  (09.03.2018)

Market closed 2nd consecutive week in negative territory. It has broken crucial neckline support of around 10300-10276 levels this week  & we have seen further sell off towards lower levels targets as expected last week . It made a low of 10,141.55 levels  so far in this correction on nifty this week. One can expect market to trend towards lower levels targets as mentioned below in short term before bottoming out.Trader should use any kind of pull back rally to sell or exit till short term reverses.

All the other indices such as midcap & small cap also closed weekly in negative territory. It looks like wave-(Y) correction is going on from wave count perspectives as per chart attached. Any kind of pull back rally towards neckline is selling opportunity till short term reverses. On the other hand, 10,070- 9800 levels is crucial cluster of support zone near lower end of channel to watch out for any kind of short term bottom formation .     

Short-term outlook for the market remains negative till Nifty trades below 10632 levels and expecting target of 10000-9800 levels in short term. Medium term outlook for the market remains positive till Nifty trades above 8,968 levels and expecting targets in the range of 12000-12200 levels in medium term.


It looks like TIME wise wave-IV correction & will last it at least till March end before final wave-V UP begins as per my expectation.Any kind of such short term correction or consolidation is buying opportunity for medium to long term Investment perspectives till medium term reverses.

BANK NIFTY also closed weekly in negative territory. Its relatively more under performing then other indices. It has completed wave-X pull back rally near recent high of 25,780 levels in short term. One can expect lower levels target1-23900, target2-23600 & in extreme case target3-23300 levels in this wave-IV correction till it reverses in short term. 25,780 is now short term reversal levels on bank nifty. 

10000 & 10500 levels is strong support & resistance levels respectively based on option open interest data so far for this month series. Market will remain very volatile in this corrective phase. 


Momentum indicators Daily KST & daily MACD both are in SELL supporting short term trend. One should be stock specific & follow the trend with trail stop loss levels till it reverses. Close above short term reversal levels will finally confirm further rally towards medium term higher levels targets.
