Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is a 'Bearish Marubozu Candle' and what does today's formation on Nifty signify?
A 'Bearish Marubozu Candle' is a strong, long red candlestick with very little or no upper and lower shadow. It indicates that the open and high prices are nearly the same, and the low and close prices are also very close. Today's formation on Nifty is a powerful bearish signal, showing that sellers were in complete control from the very start of the day and pushed prices down consistently until the close, with no significant buying pressure to support the market.
Why did the market reverse so sharply after a strong gap-up opening?
The sharp reversal from a gap-up opening often indicates that the market was over-extended or facing strong resistance at higher levels. This could be due to factors like global cues losing steam, institutional profit-booking, or a shift in sentiment. Today's price action suggests that the gap-up was met with aggressive selling pressure, which overpowered the initial bullish sentiment and drove the indices down throughout the day by making a pattern of lower highs and lower lows.
Why did the VIX fall despite a sharp market decline?
This is an interesting divergence. Normally, a sharp market fall is accompanied by a rise in the VIX, as volatility and fear increase. However, a slight fall in the VIX today, despite the decline, suggests that the market's fall was orderly and not panicked. It could indicate that the decline was expected, possibly due to profit-booking at a higher level, and traders were not panicking. This could also suggest that the selling pressure might be short-lived, or the market is simply adjusting its price to a new, lower level without widespread fear.
