Outlook for Today: On Japanese candlestick patterns the index after
having formed a long white body candle has formed a black body candle
on higher volumes. This is negative.
However, the index is above its 5, 15, 25 and 200 day’s moving
averages. Moreover, the velocity parameters are also positively
trended. Both these indicate a positive bias and the possibility of a
further up move. Investors are advised to hold long positions.
Work with strict stop losses on all positions.
