Nifty 50 Index

19 Jul 2024 - The first real signs of tiredness, stance neutral

Nifty Stance Neutral ➡️
Nifty managed to only gain 14pts ~ 0.06% this week, but we hit a new ATH on all 4 working days. The new ATH is 24854, but before we talk about that - the price action of 18th Jul requires special mention.
We fell 84pts ~ 0.34% between open & 09.35, then we went up 162pts ~ 0.66% by 10.11. We then fell again 173pts ~ 0.7% by 11.31 and then rose 332pts ~ 1.36% by 14.51. Down-up-down-up, we had 4 mutually contradicting price movements, these are not normal times & the traders who are facing these headwinds are not ordinary either. It really takes so much courage & inner peace to trade with a level head.
The price action that followed today was a one way trip, a decent 346pts ~ 1.39% intraday fall after hitting a new ATH of 24854. The only reason I am going neutral from the bullish stance is because of the intensity of the fall today. 
If we notice further weakness, I would not relent to go short as well. Honestly, going short has never worked for me in the past 1 year or so - the puts just eat the dust every single time. A bear run will wake up all those dreamers, thats what I feel.
