Technical Outlook :Chasing the trend......?

Another day, another new low! Thats the story of the market these days. We try to keep looking for something that would halt it but no, the market just does not appear to be interested. But as analysts we have to keep looking for those set of signals that will prompt us during the day if any reversal attempt is happening. So we present to our readers one more item today. Earlier ones have all been brushed aside but here we are, back with one more item.

Today's chart is NF 5 minutes with moving average bands, stochastic and some support markers. Lets take them serially. The prices have remained beneath the moving average bands since last Friday. A small attempt was made to cross the band yesterday but that was beaten back towards the end.Note that this is the 5 minute chart- the situation in the higher time frames (15/30/60 minutes) are far away from flashing any signals. We are featuring the 5 minute because we are trying to spot the change early. But so far nothing on that score yet.

Next the stochastic has flashed a minor signal of strength which would need to be worked on and built upon in case some positives have to occur. Third the support markers. Note that the earlier ones (derived from previous low pivots) have seen the index move down to touch them, the current rise has shown slightly more spunk than the earlier ones. Hence it is possible that we may not really head down to the level of the next marker, which is the region of 5198-5191.Note also that the prices have started moving laterally- which happens when the trend is about to change.

We acknowledge here that we are reaching, trying to find supports and bottom formations where they are not evident yet. The option action is not encouraging for a bottom yet. The activity has rolled down to 5200-5300 calls and 5100-5000 puts. This shows a shift of the action downward, something that happens when markets are creating room to go lower. So it is continued bad news on the options front. The main pivot for the index to cross continues to remain at 5330. Until then every upward push is just an attempt. Last five sessions have all been down days. So maybe time for some short covering rally? This aspect will be matched or spoilt by how many people have been doing bottom fishing during the week and choose to give it up if the market goes down today. So it is going to be an action packed day for sure.


Stocks to buy if market is strong

POLYPLEX CORP

A massive fall in the last couple of weeks led prices to erode the short term trend further, caushing more damage to the trend and moving to a low of 183 last session. However bouncing up from that level and closing on a positive note, prices have created a bullish pattern. RSI has turned around from 20 levels signaling possibilities of a pullback ahead. Go long.

IRB INFRA

On the daily chart we note that last couple of sessions have been witnessing some value buying at the dips. This can be verified by the long lower shadows in the last two days. This is also owing to good supports around that region - descending Gann line and trendline support. Yesterday prices bounced back well to end on a positive note. Volumes are improving and so are momentum readings. Buy.
