The Weekly Nifty 50 chart
- General Discussion
- Nifty 50 near measuring gap target so bulls can exit some part of their position, but as the move is strong, bulls expect at least 60% chance of 2nd leg up.
- Market in bull micro channel so generally more buyers below bars than sellers. When the market is in a bull micro channel, this phase is also known as the breakout phase.
- Once the market starts trading below prior bars (in a breakout phase) then there are higher chances that the market would convert into a tight bull channel, rather than an immediate reversal down (more on this in pro tips)
- Deeper into the price action
- The market had formed 2 consecutive bull bars closing near their high (bar A & B) so this was the start of the Buy The Close trend.
- The market had a breakout above the bear channel (red colored), therefore bulls would be expecting the market to reach the top of the channel.
- Aggressive bears would be shorting the high of bar C, assuming bulls would book some profits as reaching the measuring gap and measured move target.
- Patterns
- Market creating breakout gaps on either side (notice the one marked with blue) which creates confusion. This is the hallmark of a trading range.
- Traders would be now looking to buy low sell high and scalp, as this is just a trading range. The market very often forms always in long patterns near trading range top, and always in short patterns near trading range bottom.
- Pro Tip [below explanation based on daily chart]
- Patterns like an inside-outside-inside bar, inside-inside bar, and outside-outside bar are breakout mode patterns that can work as final flags or as flags depending upon bars to the left. But in general, there are 50-50 chances of a successful breakout to either side.
- Let’s take an example. Consider the inside-inside bar forming late in trend after buy climax, and now the market is near a strong resistance. So rather than 50-50 chances, there is a greater probability of this inside-inside bar being a final flag rather than a bull flag.
The Daily Nifty 50 chart
- General Discussion
- The market on the daily chart is going upside strongly and also leaving breakout gaps open – a sign of the strength of the bulls
- From the most recent bars, the market has never seen a significant pullback, so this is just a tight bull channel. Traders should be only looking to buy until bears get strong consecutive bear bars
- Deeper into price action
- From most recent bars Nifty 50 never formed strong and big consecutive bear bars, therefore traders should always look to buy.
- Aggressive bears would be selling the low of the latest bar with a wide stop, assuming this inside-outside-inside bar is the final flag.
- If the market starts to pull back to the downside, then bulls would be still looking to buy on a High 1 and High 2 as they know there are 60% chances of 2nd leg up. (Therefore even a 1:1 risk to reward would result in positive traders’ equation).
- Patterns
- Every Wedge Top is a Higher High Double Top (HH DT).
- Always remember that if the wedge top fails and the market starts resuming up then the minimum bulls want is a measured move up based upon DT height (shown in green color).
- Whenever you see wedge top fail and a bull breakout gap, then chances are very high of this leading to a bull trend. So always look for these types of price action
