1. Prices are trading within 100 points ranging structure between 8495 – 8593. Market formed high at 8600 and low at 8500. Through analysis we note that prices consist of symmetrical price swings, creating a paradoxical confusion to decide whether markets are in accumulation or distribution phase.
2. Sellers defending the resistance zone between 8575-8585. Selling pressure is most likely a result of position adjustments and profit taking ahead of GST legislation results. Traders should observe the strength of selling pressure at key resistance levels.
3. We spot a price rejection setup around 19th July. It’s a sign of classic Wyckoff springs. Price action trading within this range can increase a system’s positive expectancy and trading edge. Stop placement is a daunting task as traders are getting trapped at the bottom.
4. Within the range we see the traits of both accumulation and distribution, so it’s hard to make a firm determination of market sentiment and trading bias. We need to keep an eye on fundamentals such GST legislation, FOMC decisions. Also observe next week’s opening price behavior. Happy trading!
