The Weekly Nifty 50 chart
- General Discussion
- The market is in a big trading range (blue dotted lines) so reversal patterns and fakeouts would be common for upcoming weeks.
- In a trading range, even the strongest looking moves often tend to reverse within a few bars, so traders should focus on quick exits rather than swing their position.
- Deeper into the price action
- The market gave a bear breakout below the double top neckline and now quickly reversing up. This is creating confusion which is the hallmark of the trading range.
- Traders who shorted below bear bars for the double top would be exiting early above this week’s bull bar.
- The solid blue line (in the above chart) acts as a support and the market also forms a wedge bottom, which increases the probability of moving up rather than down.
- Patterns
- There were only 25% chances of the market giving an overshoot of the wedge bottom line, and 75% chances of the market touching the top line of the channel (which it already did).
- The probability of measured move down based on a higher high double top is now very low due to the formation of wedge bottom and support (solid blue line).
- The market is still near the top of the big trading range so traders buying above this bull bar would be exiting with scalpers’ profit rather than swinging their position.
- Pro Tip
- When the market is in the trading range phase (like above) then trading reversals has high probability rather than trading breakouts.
- Similar for trending markets i.e., when the market is in the trending phase, then trading reversal trades is low probability and trading breakout trades gives a higher probability.
- Patterns you can trade when the market is in the trading range phase are:
- Double top
- Double bottom
- Wedge top
- Wedge bottom
- Head and shoulder bottom
- Head and shoulder top
- And all other reversal patterns
- Patterns you can trade when the market is in the trending phase are:
- Triangle Breakout
- Bull flag
- Bear Flag
- Buy The Close
- Sell The Close
- And all other breakout patterns
The Daily Nifty 50 chart
- General Discussion
- Increasing trading range price action daily is seen, bear bars are followed by bull bars.
- The market has transitioned from the breakout phase to the trading range phase, so traders can expect frequent reversals after breakouts of support or resistance levels.
- Traders should not look for holding their positions for a swing, rather they should book quick profits (scalps).
- Deeper into price action
- Market testing breakout levels, like in the above chart, support levels are broken and then tested within a few bars.
- This means that this is a limit order market, which means that bulls are placing buy limit orders below levels and can make money.
- When both bears and bulls can make money, then that is not a strong trend, rather market is just in a trading range, or in a broad bear channel.
- Patterns
- After the bear breakout below the support level, the market is now forming a head and shoulder bottom and can lead to a possible measured move up.
- As already discussed above, reversal patterns work well in trading range phases and breakout patterns work well in trending phases.
- As the market can be in a possible broad bear channel as well, some traders who bought the head and shoulder bottom breakout would be exiting soon, and would not wait for a measured move target.
