GOLD
Gold prices started the week on a strong note, though the trading volume remained low due to Labor Day holiday in US. As the week proceeded, the gold prices began to drop as the equity markets rebounded as improved demand for Portuguese and Polish bonds eased sovereign-debt concerns. Moreover, gold had already touched a record high which led to certain resistance for a further rise in the prices of the yellow metal. The domestic gold prices also followed the international trends. The domestic gold prices touched historic highs on global cues. Moreover, the markets witnessed major buying on upcoming weddings and festivities. There was sudden decline in the prices of the precious metal as resistance level emerged after touching record highs. The gold prices are expected to ease down in the coming week. The prices may come down on the back of profit booking.

OVERALL VIEW
Nifty broke the bullish “ascending triangle” pattern in the week ending September 9, 2010. It gained about 2.92% (160.05 points) from the last week close. Nifty is now exhibiting a very choppy trade post 31 month high. For the week ending Thursday Sep 9, 2010 Nifty low and open prices are same and it rose continuously, day-on-day. After opening on 'positive' note on first day of current week, Nifty rose higher everyday during the rest of week. It also met with 'profit-booking' on almost all trading sessions of the week in intraday trade but on all trading days managed to close higher than its previous close. On Tuesday and Wednesday Nifty faced stiff resistance at 5,625 in intraday trade, gave away all the intraday gains slipped into red but in late trade saw 'short-covering' and rose again to close the days with moderate gains. From here, it seems that the bulls may not be able to push the prices higher as the range of 5640-5680, is a strong resistance for Nifty from where bears can take control from them once it comes near to said level. Technically also the trend, which is now up, could test its next major resistances around 5680 and if Nifty crosses this level, it can go further up, to test 5720 level, chances of which seems very low. On the downside, the levels of 5560 will play major supports and any decisive fall below that could drag Nifty to its next strong support of 5480. Nifty is currently trading above 5 EWMA indicating upward momentum but for coming week expecting correction as technical indicator Stochastic is currently moving in overbought zone at 91 on the brink of showing negative crossover. But on the other side another key technical indicators RSI and MACD is suggesting continuation of existing uptrend.
