It said that despite the bullish momentum gaining traction lately, we observe the Bearish Marubozu that was formed on 6 May remaining intact. “As such, the bears are deemed to still be in control and as such, our negative trading bias remains unchanged,” the research house said.
Traders should retain the short positions, which were initiated at 1,576.50 points, or the close of 5 May. To control the trading risks, the stop-loss is placed at 1,578 pts
