Distribution Day CountThree

Global stock markets: Dow30, -0.2%; S&P 500, -0.1%; Nasdaq, +0.1%; Kospi, +0.4%; Nikkei, +0.1%; Shanghai Composite, -0.2%

Yesterday, Nifty gapped higher by almost 100 points. However, it came under selling pressure in the first hour itself and turned negative. After moving sideways during the day, it fell more in the last hour, but closed above its 21-DMA. Yesterday’s action was not considered a distribution day as volume was very low. The broader market also failed to hold its opening gains and closed in the red.

On the sectoral front, barring Nifty Auto (+0.4%), all sectors closed lower. Maruti led the gains in Auto stocks as it raised the price of most of its models. Nifty Metal and IT closed almost 1% lower, dragging the index down.

The distribution day count currently stands at three. If the index falls further, adds a distribution day, and breaches its key moving averages, we may change the market status to an Uptrend Under Pressure. Focus on quality ideas emerging out of sound bases with RS line at or near new highs while reducing exposure to stocks breaking below key support levels.
