Long Leg Doji on Daily Chart of the NIFTY

Long Leg Doji found on Daily Chart of the NIFTY which could be result the reversal of the last uptrend and will start down rally from tomorrow. This is valid only if price will not break the top if the Doji which was 5417(per LOG Scale Chart).





Details of the Doji Candle stick Pattern:

The Doji is a powerful Candlestick formation, signifying indecision between bulls and bears. A Doji is quite often found at the bottom and top of trends and thus is considered as a sign of possible reversal of price direction, but the Doji can be viewed as a continuation pattern as well.


A Doji is formed when the opening price and the closing price are equal. A long-legged Doji, often called a "Rickshaw Man" is the same as a Doji, except the upper and lower shadows are much longer than the regular Doji formation.

The creation of the Doji pattern illustrates why the Doji represents such indecision. After the open, bulls push prices higher only for prices to be rejected and pushed lower by the bears. However, bears are unable to keep prices lower, and bulls then push prices back to the opening price.

Of course, a Doji could be formed by prices moving lower first and then higher second, nevertheless, either way, the market closes back where the day started.

In a Doji pattern, the market explores its options both upward and downward, but cannot commit either way. After a long uptrend, this indecision manifest by the Doji could be viewed as a time to exit one's position, or at least scale back. Similarly, after a long downtrend, like the one shown above of General Electric stock, reducing one's position size or exiting completely could be an intelligent move.
It is important to emphasize that the Doji pattern does not mean reversal, it means indecision. Doji's are often found during periods of resting after a significant move higher or lower; the market, after resting, then continues on its way. Nevertheless, a Doji pattern is a great sign that a prior trend is losing its strength, and taking some profits might be well advised.

Nifty Weekly Update for 21 Aug 2012

Nifty Weekly Update for 21 Aug 2012:















Why I am preferring the Bearish view on Nifty?
*             As per EWP, Nifty had completed the 5th wave with 5 internal wave @5417(as per LOG CHART), If we consider bearish count then also we have completed the a-b-c(w)-(x)-a-b-c(y) @5417 pattern and Thereafter price started in the down move.   (only concerned here is that another a-b-c  complex pattern can be in effect as Z wave).

*             As per Daily Chart, Price breaks the Upmove Channel and heading down, which result the weakness in the current upmove.
*             As per the Candlestick Pattern, Long Leg Doji seen on the daily chart which act as reversal of the last trend (uptrend).

*             RSI and MACD indicator showing the negative divergence which looks weakness. Price is making new high but Indicator is not breaking its previous high.
*             Stochastic Oscillator shown sell signal on overbought zone and heading lower 80%.

If nifty will go down (bearish view) then what could be the targets for the downmove?
There could be many scenario can happen like diagonal pattern, contracting triangle,  or 5 wave impulsive down move.  Currently i will consider the 5 wave downmove if price will breaks 5181 and heading lower which is lower trendline support.

We will look for this as how the prices unfold further.
If tomorrow, prices are heading upward and breaks the top 5419 then still this view is valid till 5440 and this was the major hurdle for the nifty. I will change this view only after the price crosses 5440/5450 and moving higher.

Happy Trading !!!
