Market outlook
Trend is down and will reverse on close above 8630 spot.
The recent corrective rally has so failed to cross 61.8% retracement level. Now we have formation of swing low at 7960 and swing high at 8365 levels (all spot). Since markets are almost at halfway levels and considering that both support and resistance are nearby, it might make sense not to do anything unless you are a daytrader .... writing this from 4-5 days and so far nothing is happening - only broker earning.
Option writing points to support at 8000 levels. This might mean limited downsides from current levels.

Trend is down and will reverse on close above 8630 spot.
Within this downtrend, markets formed higher high higher low formation for 4 days. Today's close was however below yesterday's close and deep into previous day's candlestick body.
Various possibilities exist at this stage... one is just a pause in this rally or possible formation of a lower swing high. In case of latter, it can mean a double bottom at 8000 levels (+/- 50 points) followed by a rally OR break of recent supports leading to new lows.
These possibilities are shown on the charts.

Percentage loss and rise to breakeven
A loss of 20% in a stock does not mean that this can be recovered if the stock rallies 20%.. the stock must move by 25% then you are at breakeven.
Similarly a 50% erosion in a stock requires a 100% gain for a breakeven.
Think it over.

Something as simple as high school maths can have a dramatic impact on your trading.
A trader's current views of probability could be completely wrong, and they could very well be why they are not making money in the markets.

The Fed NEEDS Inflation Otherwise the Bond Bubble Will Burst
As we keep emphasizing, the Fed’s real concern is the bond bubble… NOT stocks.
We get more evidence of this from Janet Yellen’s press conference after the Fed’s Wednesday FOMC meeting.
During the conference, Yellen repeatedly stated that lower oil prices were “positive” for the US economy. This is simply astounding because the Fed has repeatedly told us time and again that it was IN-flation NOT DE-flation that was great for the economy.
And yet, on Wednesday, the head of the Fed admitted, in public, that deflation can in fact be positive.
How can deflation be both positive for the economy at the same time that the economy needs MORE inflation?
The answer is easy… Yellen doesn’t care about the economy. She cares about the US’s massive debt load AKA the BOND BUBBLE.
Read complete article hereFed calls time on $5.7 trillion of emerging market dollar debt
The US Federal Reserve has pulled the trigger. Emerging markets must now brace for their ordeal by fire.
They have collectively borrowed $5.7 trillion in US dollars, a currency they cannot print and do not control. This hard-currency debt has tripled in a decade, split between $3.1 trillion in bank loans and $2.6 trillion in bonds. It is comparable in scale and ratio-terms to any of the biggest cross-border lending sprees of the past two centuries.

Interestingly, today was a small bar implying selling at higher levels.

A small rally or time consuming rally will see formation of a lower swing high followed by new lows. Bullish contention will require a fast breakout above 8630 spot.

Some stocks which have not corrected at all... I am long in all of them.
My SL is 15-20 days low.
Do not consider this as a recommendation to buy or sell.
The reason of this post is to show that while markets are correcting, there are still a lot of stocks which are holding firm and doing well. They may correct later on or rally further but that is a different story.

How many indicators should one use
Best indicator is no indicator..... I see pure price only... it tells everything you need to know.
All other indicators only add noise as they are derivatives of prices or are indicators of indicators.
But if you feel compelled to use one, then limit yourself to 1 indicator.
More indicators just complicate and are unlikely to add value.
Do not ever do this...

Interest rate cut
Past one year or more, everyone is expecting a rate cut from RBI so as to "boost" the economy.
The NIFTY in this period have rallied from 6000 levels to 8000+ levels without any rate cut.
So what will happen if the interest rate cut actually happens? Would an interest rate cut be considered a bullish indicator or a bearish one considering the fact that markets anyway blasted without a rate cut?

Markets close 3.7% in the red this week. I thought this would be the biggest weekly drop this year but I was wrong - markets had closed 3.8% in red in one week in JUL 2014 (shown in circle in chart). That time, nothing happened thereafter and markets continued their rally.
This time, I don't know if the same will happen - however we are very close to support at 8160 spot so let's see if market's bottom out here or not.

Markets close below 8300
My trend reversal level for nifty was 8300 spot and today markets closed below this level. Now I have to assume trend is down till nifty closes above 8630 spot.
I expect good support at 8160 spot levels.
Note that hourly charts gave a sell on close below 8500 and this is the level a futures trader should be looking at.
A word about 8300... there is nothing magical or sacrosanct about this level. Normally I take recent swing low as reversal level. In this case, the swing low was at 7700 and nothing above that till 8630. Since we need some SL I settled on 8300 as we had a cluster of supports here. So this 8300 is more of a support area and not a swing low level. Also, it does not matter in this case if the support is at 8280 or 8310.
If the trend has to turn down, whatever level you plot (eg. 8200 or 8400) has to eventually break... it may happen few days earlier or later.

Faster retracement of rally hints at a bigger correction. While support at 8300 is not violated, the extent of fall in 2 days in comparison with the number of days required to rally means we are looking at a trend reversal.
Note that hourly charts gave a sell yesterday and 15 min charts gave a sell from 1-DEC.

Now last week's low was 8500 and a good support and today (first day of the week), markets sold off and closed below this support. So depending on your trading style, you may assume that trend has already reversed. If this is the case, then fine... your buy above level would be last week's high at
8630 spot (roughly).
