Trading with Median lines is a system and a leading indicator suitable for Swing trading.I am following this strategy for Nifty and Bank Nifty with good results.Those interested to trade with Charts and Price action to analyse target price, support and resistance levels will find this strategy very interesting.

Feedback welcome!Happy trading...

Nifty moves on...


Nifty closed at 6134 with day high at 6145.Steady move up on expected lines / targets.
Daily Chart 31.12.10

60 min chart



I have marked the previous swing CD.Prices are moving steady within the Andrews pitchfork (thro DE from C ).The calculation of 2 times swing range CD from point E gives a target price of 6194 .This target is close to the confluence of the blue mini median line and the longterm median Line (orange).
At this major median Line resistance is expected.If we get a zoom thro bar then higher targets are probable.The possibility of reaching earlier highs looks very positive if it moves past 6200 levels.

Nifty charging up..


Morning moves were within a range but last hour Nifty really charged up to reach 6100 levels.
Positive moves expected for the new series from tommorrow towards the higher targets.
Daily Chart 30.12.10

5 min chart 30.12.10


Studying the movement in 5 min chart , the prices are moving up wihin the ascending green pitchfork.The price reached very close to the median line at C and this point corresponds close to 1.382% fib levels of the previous swing AB.Fib levels work very well with median lines to project / confirm target levels.

Nifty crosses the first hurdle

Nifty Daily chart 29.12.10
The price successfully crossed the hurdle at 6045 .The steady move upwards since morning session right through the day indicates positive mood coming in .
The green bar moved right into the blue PF and the LMLH has supported well for the past few days.

60 min chart

Studying the slope angle of the previous upswings from the last major low of 5721 , it can be noted the price moves are so much in the same angle as the previous swing angles!
Projecting a similar swing, the confluence with the UMLH gives a target of 6170- 6180 levels.
Outlook for tommorrow
A very positive move up, maybe even a gap up is expected.Upper targets are 6100 / 6140 / 6170 / 6200 over the next two days.
Stoploss for long positions will be at 5975 .

Nifty still clueless...

Daily Chart 27.12.10
Nifty made a higher high today but closed below yesterday's close.The direction of Nifty is still without much clues and the plan will be to be prepared for whichever direction it moves.
Looking at the daily chart, Price has held on to the LMLH , within the lower channel.A break of this line can lead to lower prices in a sideways range for the next few days.Low of friday at 5940 levels should be a good support for any down moves.
15 min chartLooking at the 15 min chart, Blue pitchfork with pivots at C ,D,E was drawn to analyse the price movement.Todays high did not touch the ML of this blue PF and a down swing towards LMLH till close of the day.The price has touched and crossed the LMLH.
Projected the WL1 and WL2 ( Reaction lines ) for targets for the down move.
Projected the Orange PF with pivots D,E,F ( Today's high) to chart the current price movement.Targets of 5970-5960,5940 ( earlier low),5908 are projected from confluence of PF and Warning Lines.
Outook for 28.12.2010:

Above todays high 6045 - Positive moves expected , with strong close Long position can be taken.
Resistance at 6030 and breakout below 5980 will lead to lower targets projected in 15 min chart ie 5960 / 5940/5908.
Till 5850 levels the moves can be categorised as corrective and below 5850 the trend becomes negative again.

Nifty inching up....



Todays move by nifty was a good rise from the low made in the morning.It's a typical Buy day with the lower low than yesterday made in the morning session and closing higher than yesterday.The probability of a good gap opening on Monday is very high.
60 min chart

The prices got supported at the Lower Median line Parallel (LMLH ) . The price action looks set to go upwards till it is within this ascending green pitchfork .Trend can reverse when this trendline is broken.
Higher targets are at 6037 / 6100 / 6140 / 6160 levels.

Nifty yet to decide its direction!

The sharp movement late afternoon yesterday gave an indication that sharp moves may be expected today but the market proved otherwise today.The small range in which it traded was a good lesson in patience, which is the trait that traders are supposed to master!

As the expected down move till 5930 levels did not materialise , I closed my short position as EOD the symmetrical triangle pattern made me doubtful of the direction of the move.Preferred to wait out and join the move once nifty decides whichever way!
Outlook for tommorrow:
The price can move towards 5950-5930 levels , find support and move upwards.This is the positive bias.And it should be a very sharp move through the main ML ( daily chart) for the upmove to gather momentum and race up.
Negative Bias will be a breakdown of 5930 levels .Supports further down are at 5865 / 5780 levels.
Will wait on price moves tommorrow for further action.

Nifty at Crossroad...

Nifty at Crossroads...

Daily chart 22.11.10



The pivots are marked on the daily chart .P0 is the anchor and P1-P2 is the swing line through which the first major descending pitchfork is drawn.Subsequent pitchforks are also show with pivots P3,P4,P5 .The median rules specifically
- the prices will reverse to meet the median line 80% of time is illustrated very well in this chart.
- Prices get supported at Lower Median line Parallel(LMLH) and resisted at Upper median line parallel( UMLH) is also seen.
All pivots are still within this major red descending pitchfork in the short term.
Today's price meets the UMLH , and this could be a probable pivot P6.Confirmation of this level as a pivot would be a lower close for the next two days .Supports probable at 5960 - 5930 levels.After support the prices move upwards of the red UMLH with strong close the trend upwards can continue for higher targets.

60 Min chart

The price today broke down from the mini median line pitchfork drawn within the current swing.Supports expected at the ascending green pitchfork drawn on 60 min chart at 5950 - 5930 levels.

15 min chart
Connected todays high and the previous swing high with a trendline.The parallel to this trendline drawn from previous low and red pitchfork confluence gives a target of 5930 for this downmove.

Nifty at Median line resistance



Monday's action must have been a rude shock to traders due to the sudden down spike in the morning.My long posittions were closed at stop loss levels near the lows of the day by just a few points!!And was amazed at the reversal above 5840 levels.As was not accessible could not enter again at lower levels so kept myself out of this swing.
15 min chart
60 min chart
Was looking out for the resistance level to short which happened today.Though the upper levels expected were above at 5967 / 6000 levels , following observation made me enter the short trade:
1.Closed lower at first target of 5930 - 5950 below 50 sma.
2.The swing has met the Schiff median line and reversed .
3.Price not reaching median line ( in blue) and reversing today gives a projection of lower targets equal to previous swing.
4.Stoch indicator has given sell signal in 60 min chart which I follow.
Targets for this swing - 5780 -5760 levels and further down to 5720 ( prev swing low ) 5605 ( equal to prev down swing from 6068 -5721).
EW outlook: I don't track the waves long or medium term with EW rules but study the wave patterns within the swings only - 6069 - 5721 is an impulsive wave , 5721 to 5954 - abc reaction wave , next wave could be an impulsive wave.

Daily Chart 15.12.10

What if?
If todays action was just a reaction wave and swing continues its upward move by crossing 5950 levels then the original target of 6100 levels should hold.

Nifty entered reversal zone..


Good strong move for a positive close on Friday .However Monday's followup action is critical for the momentum to continue..
Resistances expected at 5930 -5950 where some consolidation can happen.Strong moves above 5950 will push prices to next level of 6110 marked in daily chart.Time taken for consolidation near 5950 will give clues about breakout or breakdown towards earlier lows.
15 min chart 10.12.10
Daily Chart 10.12.10

Long positions taken today at breakout of 50 sma in 15 min chart. Target 1 @ 5930 -5950 levels.

Nifty Closer to short term Support....

As noted yesterday, "c" wave reached 5890 level at the red median line.Next target is 5840 levels which should be reached tommorrow and expect reversal at this point of the short term correction.Divergence in Rsi is seen in 15 min charts which is positive for the next upmove.



Two scenarios for tommorrow:
1. First half of the day, price moves downwards , touch 5860 levels / 5840 levels and make a "V" turn.This will a very positive sign for upmove to commence.
2.Morning the price can move sideways / bounces up mildly, reaches upto 5950 resistance levels and then move downward.If the close is below 5850 / 5830 levels EOD then will wait for another day to decide to go long .Downtrend / Uptrend confirmation will emerge on Fridays Action.

Nifty seeking support


The fall continued today in the first half of the day and recovering towards close. In 15 min chart observed it was close to 5947 levels projected yesterday with the intraday blue pitchfork .However this fall to be viewed as part of the abc correction wave. Assuming" a" wave from 6069 to 5947 , "b" wave from 5947 to 5990 approx 38.2 % R , tomorrow a fall till 5890 /5871 ( equal count of prev wave / 1.23% ) expected.Will wait to see how the scene unfolds...
Currently targets towards the median line supports is shown in 15 min / 60 min charts below


Daily chart with possible supports and upmove projections shown.Negative moves will be below 5850.

Nifty resisted at 6070 levels


Though the mood was positive on the uptrend continuing , the sideway consolidation for 2 days did not result in upward momentum. 6075 levels at the upward green median line noted on thursday's EOD analysis was touched today.Stoch indicator was at oversold levels , so to ascertain probable direction the blue pitch fork was drawn during trading hours in the 15 min chart .The prices slowly moved sidewards and came down towards todays blue median line and crossed it forcefully . The target expected down is at 5947 levels.target calculation is 2 ATR of pivots 6025-5964.As the previous wave is a 5 wave structure this can be corrective 3 wave ending at 5890.
More levels are projected in 60 min chart for downside targets.The levels are marked at junctions of median lines with slope lines of probable waves.

DAILY CHART 6.12.10

Expecting support at 5890 - 5870 levels for next upmove .If prices move below 5850 levels then scenario will become negative .

NIFTY consolidating at Upper Median line Parallel


15 min chart / 60 min chart
As expected the price hovered around the Blue Upper median line in a range after gapping up.
If price pullbacks to 5950 will add a position or else hold the current positions till it reaches 6075 / 6090 / 6100 levels.

Nifty gearing up..





60 min chart

It was a dream move today!!Monday the price was close to the Blue median line.Expected a sideways movement around that line.Tuesday morning there was a good drop and hovered around the long term Lower median line parallel support.The hour bar breaking out thro the blue median line was so strong it indicated of great moves to follow.Added a long position at 5890 NF levels to the earlier position taken at 5780 levels.
On wednesday the path which nifty took was awesome.Exactly on the line i had charted :-)).And it has touched the Downsloping median line .What next?Consolidation and then further upmove towards 6075 levels .
15 min chart

The violet pitchfork was drawn on tuesday to analyse the S / R.The price did stop at the violet median line and zoomed thro the UML /Blue ML and retested the median line at close.Was very positive about the price move.Today the orange pitchfork was drawn and prices stayed above the median line rising steadily touched my target of 5935 / 5960 and then ++....The price has touched the Larger downsloping median line and closed above it.However expect some consolidation or retest of these levels even if there is a strong move tommorrow.

Daily Chart

A beautiful green candlebar crossing the median line !!Stoch reading turned up.Looking out for a very good upmove next few days..
