Story of the Little Bear
8/11/2009
The bear can be compared to the fear that resides within us, which is overtaken by greed as the market moves up. Both fear and greed contribute to a large extent to the volatility culminating into large price swings. Currently with Nifty Index futures at 4790 we are experiencing mixed emotions: Corrective bottom has been formed at 4532 (greed) Intermediate top formed at 5168 (fear) We are going to look at some of the market indicators to reduce the confusion. Nifty Index Future (1 Month) is down 7.3 % from its top of 5168.5. If we compare it to the major pivot low of 3905.7 (13/7/09), we are still trading up by 22.7%.
We are trading at the upper range even after the current correction.
Let’s take a closer look at the constituents of the index, the Nifty 50 stock and find out how they are faring compared to their average counterpart. From the following tabular illustration it is clear that most of the stocks have fallen way beyond 7.3 % to the extent of 39 and 40 %.
The chart below can give us a more data to think about.
The break in Index came after several failed attempts to hold above 5100, indicating a strong distribution that must have taken place.
Gann one of the greatest traders in the early twenty centuries says that the 1st indication of reversal in trend is when the current fall exceeds the previous fall. The current correction of 633 points (51654532), exceeds the previous fall of 390 (4730-4341) points by a large extent.

To summarise the above presented data, chances of further bearishness is high. However we should tale price action take a lead over our theories. If the current market is able to sustain above the 61.8 % Fibonacci Retracement level (4920) we should look towards covering our shorts.
