Inside a narrow trading range - again

The Nifty is in a trading range with well defined support at 4950 and resistance at 5100. This is a narrow range of just 150 points. Sharp swings inside this range give the impression of volatility as well as trend, but the fact is that the Index is not really going anywhere. This range has lasted 12 trading days. If the Nifty finally breaks out from the range and moves above 5100, the range would be a substitute for a correction in the short term trend. The 60 minute chart shows that there is a possible head and shoulder in the making. Here is the chart:




Now, the pattern is not complete - far from it. The bulls have been in complete control till now. In fact, even a breakdown from 4920 may not result in touching the 4750 target - it could be a whipsaw. But the partially complete pattern is visble, and we need to watch itas it develops.
