NIFTY Technically As on 26/09/2013

Hi Friends, In my last post around 5200 I mentioned about a Fierce Rally to 5800 and higher based on the observation of Elliott Wave Pattern and the implication of similar pattern in 2011. Within no time Nifty Rallied to 5957. It Almost re trace 78.6% of the Entire Fall from 6229-5118. So what next? As mentioned in my last post this Fierce Rally seems to be a corrective Bear Market Rally. As per my preferred count Nifty seem to have completed (x) Wave at 5957. Now it shall resume the downtrend and may witness a Huge Sell off sub 5000 in next 2-3 months in Wave. ifty has Trendline and Fibonacci Resistance at 5991 and upside if any looks limited. Current pattern is similar to 2011. RSI is showing Hidden Divergence which is early indication of possible Trend Reversal. In 2011 too Nifty Retraced around 78.6% of the previous  Fall in (w) Wave  and Developed Hidden Divergence on RSI around 4945 in April 2011. Later Nifty fell badly towards 4700 in (y) Wave till August 20

Moody's downgrades SBI's debt and local currency rating to junk

Moody's Investors Service has downgraded State Bank of India's senior unsecured debt and local currency deposit ratings to Baa3 or lowest investment grade rating from Baa2 and changed the outlook on SBI's financial strength rating to negative from stable as the economic slowdown puts pressure on the bank's credit quality. The revis ed ratings is on par with Government of India's (Baa3 Stable) foreign currency bond rating. Moody's said the combination of increasing pressure on credit fundamentals and the ongoing reliance on the fiscally constrained Indian government to maintain capital adequacy ratio are factors behind the rating downgrade at a level no higher than the sovereign. The outlook for SBI's senior unsecured debt and local currency deposit is however stable.
