The S and
P 500 and the Nifty bounced slightly last week. Signals are bullish for the
upcoming week. Past and future FED rate hikes are yet to be priced in and sentiment
indicators are back in complacency mode. Transports and the Yen are flashing
warning signs. The markets are still trading at 3 standard deviations above
their long term averages from which corrections usually result. The critical
levels to watch are 2455 (up) and 2430 (down) on the S & P and 9900 (up)
and 9800 (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.
