The US market was down while the Nifty rallied last week. Signals are bearish for the upcoming week. The markets are failing at resistance and are likely to begin major breakdowns in 2016.  The critical levels to watch are 2060 (up) and 2030 (down) on the S & P and 8000 (up) and 7900 (down) on the Nifty. A significant breach of the above levels could trigger the next big move in the above markets. You can check out last week’s report for a comparison. You can also check out snapshots of the
