The timely intervention of the bull looks good for the market. After the consistent ups and downs recently played out around the market arena, determining both entry and exit points has become more dicey as both resistance and support points cannot be identified with high precision. But if the current market behavior is sustained, new entry and exit points will be discovered in both the lead index and individual equities at large. Thus traders can play within the trend.
Nevertheless, we maintained that investors should smartly position in dividend stocks. Such equities can be swiftly identified by their respective nine months financials. We also caution against panic investment decisions as such might lead to huge loss.
Volume Index for today’s activity is 0.57 while buy volume and sell volume momentum is estimated at 66% and 44% respectively.
