Nifty on 27 August 2014: The highs may still be counting but its time to look lower.

I wrote about my appreciation of Nifty in my last post Nifty Trade Setup 21 August 2014 : The most crucial phase for both bulls and bears. It is clear now that none of the possibilities mentioned in the last post hold any merit and a re-orientation of EW needs to be done.

The perceptions upto weekly still hold good, but, the thoughts on daily chart needs to be re-organised.  With breach of 7959, the possibility of an ED from 7118 becomes invalid and leaves few other possibilities in its wake for ellioticians to ponder upon.

If we consider the move from 4531 as shown in my previous post, the third wave is already extended. However, within the 3rd wave starting from 5118, the moves have become complicated for an impulse.  My endeavour will be to resolve this segment to acceptable possibilities.

As impulse, with the possibility of 3rd extension, the move from 5118 seems to be shaping up as below:


1  :  5118  - 6415   = 1297


2  :  6415  - 5933.3   = -481.7                 ( -37.14 )
3  :  5933.3  - 7968   = 2034.7                 ( 156.88 ) of 1 and
continuing to get extended beyond 8031.

At this juncture, not much clarity is shown by the moves from 5933, especially when all the ticks are accounted for.  However, if closing values are taken and help of other indicators are used to identify the fractals, a possibility emerges.   For which, EW counts for the fractals of move from 5933 may be developing as below:


i  :  5933.3  - 6869.85   = 936.55


ii  :  6869.85  - 6638.55   = -231.3                 ( -24.697 )
iii  :  6638.55  - 7809   = 1170.5                 ( 124.9746 )
iv  :  7809  - 7422   = -387                 ( -33.0642 )
v  :  7422  - 8001   = 579                 ( 61.82265 ) of i **

 Where v th has to push between 8001 and 8145 to keep iii rd extended and i st unextended.  It should also go past 8031 to get 3 rd wave of higher degree extended. The wave itself may be developing as an ED as below:

1  :  7422  - 7841   = 419


2  :  7841  - 7540   = -301                 ( -71.8377 )
3  :  7540  - 7968   = 428                 ( 102.148 )
4  :  7968  - 7658   = -310                 ( -72.38 )**
5  :  7658  - 8095   = 437   ( 102.1028 )**

The point to remember here is that the 5th must go beyond 8001 but cannot go beyond 8145 because if it does, the higher degree presumptions will become invalid.  It also needs to go beyond 8031 to make the 3rd wave at a higher degree extended.  The whole setup are depicted on the chart below:


Now let us see how the fall from 7968 has developed so far.

Simply put, the fractals of the fall may have developed to satisfy this

A     :     7968.25     -    7874.05      =    -94.2           
B     :     7874.05     -    7915.45      =    41.4      (    -43.94904459    )
C     :     7915.45     -    7862.7      =    -52.75      (    55.99787686    )
                               
    T1:    7857.2344    ,  T2:    7821.25    ,  T3:    7763.0344

It may still continue in this manner, as long as 7915.45 is not taken.  However, if we look at it a little differently, we may see fractals of B developing in the following manner.  (If 7915.45 is taken out, the possibility will continue to exist as long as 7968.25 is not taken out.  I am banking on T3 of B, which is the most probable target of an expanded.)

a     :     7874.05     -    7915.45      =    41.4           
b     :     7915.45     -    7862.7      =    -52.75      (    -127.4154589    )
c     :     7862.7     -    7929      =    66.3      (    160.1449275    )**
       
T1:    7888.2852,  T2:    7904.1,  T3: 7929.6852,  T4: 7971.0852   

With 7929 in focus for end of B, the possibility for C is as below.

A     :     7968.25     -    7874.05      =    -94.2           
B     :     7874.05     -    7929      =    54.95      (    -58.33333333    )**
C     :     7929     -    7862.7      =    -66.3      (    70.38216561    )**
       
    T1:    7870.7844    ,  T2:    7834.8    ,  T3:    7776.5844

A breach below T3 will prompt me to change to counting it as an impulse and target 7730 for an A wave of the corrective.  Till then, 7780 remains my target.

The chart depicting the setup is as below:

Nifty Trade Setup 21 August 2014 : The most crucial phase for both bulls and bears

I had posted my views on Nifty a long time back in Nifty 14 January 2014 : Three Wolves, All Pointing Downwards and Alive.  While one of these wolves met the target, other two fell short.  Subsequent rise continued to push Nifty towards unscaled levels  and here it is...at levels that may be extremes of some of the possibilities.  Let us see how Nifty is shaping up.

Monthly

In monthly, the price action has reached the UTL of a very LT EW channel.  Getting resisted here is highly probable.  Another aspect that needs to be kept in mind is that the move from 6357 (marked as A) continues to hold the possibility to turn into an expanded till 7925.  If we look at the indicators, the negative divergence in both RSI and BEBO are held wrt A, but, there is no negative divergence within the move from 2252 (marked B).  I infer that the current rise still holds momentum for newer highs in future.




Weekly

The EW labels and possible channels, as perceived by me, are marked on the chart below. No negative divergence visible in both RSI and BEBO.  The EW ratios work out as below and clearly shows that the current move from 5118 as 3 has become extended:

1  :  4531  - 6229   = 1698


2  :  6229  - 5118   = -1111   ( -65.4299 )
3  :  5118  - 7922   = 2804   ( 165.1355 )



































Daily

The EW labels and possible channels, as perceived by me, are marked on the chart below. Negative divergence is visible in both RSI and BEBO. But the pattern of the indicators keeps me concerned on the positioning of black iii.   The EW ratios work out as below and clearly shows that the current move from 5118 as 3 has become extended:

i  :  5118  - 6415   = 1297


ii  :  6415  - 5933.3   = -481.7   ( -37.1396 )
iii  :  5933.3  - 7563.5   = 1630.2   ( 202.9 ) of v
iv  :  7563.5  - 7118.55   = -445   ( -27.2942 )
v  :  7118.55  - 7922   = 803.45   ( 61.9468 ) of i

 
























While we can delve deeper in the monthly and weekly charts later as the moves evolve, let us see certain key elements of the daily chart. 

Firstly, in the above counts, ii and iv both are shallow.  I have seen it happening on occasions and hence tend to accept it for the time being.  Within iii, the (iv) is just 17.66 % and this one is also accepted with a pinch of salt.

Now, if this is how nifty is shaping up, then,

v should finish between 7920 (already done) and 8126.  If 8126 is violated, nifty will have to scale 9217 to make v extended wrt i.

To resolve the possibility of an expanded move from 7808, nifty need to cross 7956.  If it does not, the possibility will remain alive.

If v is developing as an ED as shown, maximum it can go is upto 7959.  Above this, (iii) of the ED will become smallest, which is not permissible and a reorientation will be necessary.

Given these parameters, 7920-7925 and 7956-7959 bands are crucial.  Ideally, if Nifty reverses from 7956-7959 band, all expanded possibilities would have resolved and what will follow would be 4 that may bring a decent reduction to the levels of Nifty.  Minimum expectation will be 7260 at 23.6%.
