NIFTY OUTLOOK FOR 1st JANUARY & REVIEW OF 31

ZIGZAG MOVEMENTS

Nifty moved in a very narrow range over the last 8 trading sessions suggesting a “Big move “ in the offing as contraction in volatility leads to expansion. Nifty closed with minor gain amid lackluster movement on the last trading day of the calendar year. However, Nifty, in short term bullishness, would become weak only on a close below 6270 mark.  Nifty spot is expected to encounter resistance at 6345, 6380 and find support at 6265, 6230, for Wednesday. While Global cues and  Funds flow  are expected to broadly guide the market movement, based on the present market position , market can be expected to display dual / zigzag movements with alternate bouts of bullishness and bearishness.

In 2012, the Sensex had jumped nearly 26 per cent. After a better start today, the 30-share closed higher by 27.67 points, or 0.13 per cent, at 21,170.68 led by stocks of power, refinery and healthcare sectors. RIL, TCS and L&T helped lift Sensex.
