Weekend update

Markets give a fantastic weekly close ... trend remains up and will reverse on close below 8300.

Note that markets have fully retraced the the fall of 25th NOV. I said in a previous post that "inability to ... close above 8535 can lead to start of a bigger correction. First confirmation will be break of 8400 spot". So markets have closed above 8535 and confirms trend is still up.

Option writing (DEC) points to mixed clues. Support at 8500 and resistance at 8600-8700 levels... Difficult to arrive at a clear understanding where option writers see support and resistance this series.

Market outlook - limited upside in DEC?

Trend is up and will reverse on close below 8300.

Note that markets have closed in the positive for 2 consecutive days but have not retraced the fall of 25th NOV. Inability to do or close above 8535 can lead to start of a bigger correction. First confirmation will be break of 8400 spot.

Option writing (DEC) points to resistance at 8500 levels... there is no clear indication of where put writing support is available. All this might mean limited upsides with possibility of a good correction.

Market outlook

Trend is up and will reverse on close below 8300.

Today there was no further selling and low formed in yesterday's 20-30 min provided good support.

Market outlook

Trend is up and will reverse on close below 8300.

Today was first day of decline.. within an uptrend a correction of 2-3 days is allowable.

Recall that past few days advance decline was not supporting rallies... so today's fall is nothing surprising.

Market outlook

Trend is up and will reverse on close below 8300.

Advance decline is not supporting rallies... this is something happening from past few days even as nifty is making new highs, stocks are breaking supports.


November 21, 2014

Weekend update

Markets close at new high confirming that trend is still up with support at 8300.

On a different note, advance declines is not supporting higher moves past few days... we are seeing a lot of selling in stocks even as markets continue to move up. This creates the justifiable feeling that while markets are going up, my stocks are not going up.

In fact there are hardly any good buy calls in past 2-3 days.

BANK NIFTY now @ 18000. Remember this post?

The majority always loses

If a betting game among a certain number of participants is played long enough, eventually one player will have all the money. If there is any skill involved, it will accelerate the process of concentrating all the stakes in a few hands.

Something like this happens in the stock market.

There is a persistent overall tendency for equity to flow from the many to the few.

In the long run, the majority loses.

The implication for the trader is that to win you have to act like the minority. If you bring normal human habits and tendencies to trading, you will gravitate toward the majority and inevitably lose.
