The Weekly Nifty 50 chart
- General Discussion
- Traders holding long positions can continue to do so, as the market has not yet confirmed a reversal. However, they should exit their positions in the event of a strong bear breakout from the wedge.
- Traders who entered short positions after observing strong consecutive bear bars should hold their positions with a stop loss placed at the swing high. If the market exhibits a strong bull breakout from the wedge, they may choose to exit their short positions before the stop loss is triggered.
- Deeper into Price Action
- Over the past few weeks, bears have struggled to achieve good follow-through bars following strong bearish closes. This has led to an increase in trading range price action during this period.
- Typically, the probability of a successful bear breakout from the wedge bottom is only about 25%. Given the current bull trend, these chances are further reduced.
- If bulls manage to secure a breakout, traders can anticipate the trading range to extend by an amount equivalent to the height of the wedge bottom.
- Patterns
- A successful bear breakout from the wedge by the bears would increase the likelihood of the market reaching the measured move target to the downside, based on the wedge’s height.
The Daily Nifty 50 chart
- General Discussion
- Traders who entered short positions after the failed bull breakout of the head-and-shoulders pattern should exit, as the market has reached the bottom of the trading range (assuming the head-and-shoulders has transitioned into a trading range after the failed breakout).
- The market is currently trading near the range bottom and the lower trendline of the bear channel. Bulls can consider entering a long position if a strong bull bar is formed, followed by a good follow-through bar.
- Deeper into Price Action
- The market has been forming several tight trading ranges, indicating that traders should adopt strategies suitable for trading ranges. This involves entering positions and exiting quickly to capitalize on short-term movements.
- If bulls succeed in achieving a strong bear breakout with a follow-through bar, there is a high likelihood that the market will move downward by a measured distance based on the height of the channel.
- Patterns
- The market is exhibiting tight trading ranges, a characteristic of trading range price action.
- The market is trading within a broad channel, allowing both bears and bulls to profit by selling near the channel’s top and buying near its bottom.
