The S and P 500 and the Nifty rallied last week on the FED. Signals are bullish for the upcoming week. Market momentum and breadth have been showing divergences for months now and sentiment indicators are still highly complacent and a big breakdown will likely start soon.  The markets are likely to continue major breakdowns in 2016. The critical levels to watch are 2175 (up) and 2150 (down) on the S & P and 8900 (up) and 8700 (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.  Love your thoughts and feedback.
