Nifty: Week ending - 23rd December 2011

Recap:  We anticipated a change of trend as mentioned in the last post. The combination of an aborted Candle Pattern and channel bottom approaching, culminated in a huge gap up mid week. This was followed by a consolidation above the blue line - finishing the week with equal credit to Bulls and Bears despite a 1+% gain for the week.

Looking Forward:   Staying below last week's high or the 200 Week DMA - one sees the week going deeper into the red .. a quick move early in the week above the 4750 level followed by a dash to the Fib61x level on the Day Chart would be the script the Bulls would look to enforce.
