Technical Outlook : Volatile markets to test traders.....
The market pulled a Friday trend on the reverse! After dropping down towards the lows of the day initially, the sudden volte face was something totally unexpected. mainly because it was without warning of any sort and not really backed up by any news or event. Perhaps it was just operator action based on the bunching up of positions? We did see substantial amount of calls at the 5400 and 5500 strikes during the day and these were created at the lower levels of the Nifty. With the rise in the Nifty much of those positions were cleared out. Now were these shorts that got squeezed or was the long position created in the options and then the futures hoisted upward to cash out on the options? We will never know for sure but it does smack of operator action to us. So be careful today. Watch for follow thru on the action today before committing to the upside.
Bank Nifty is another story though. The hourly chart showed a nice set up that set off a buy yesterday and prices have held the gains to the close. Most component bank stocks are also well placed and should continue higher. Can look to trade long here. The IT index is coming back into reckoning again. It has managed to set off a buy signal on the daily chart yesterday. Leader TCS, Wipro etc are on the run and should help carry the index higher. Though this is a bit illiquid, readers can consider taking longs in smaller sizes as there is scope to move higher.
Crude prices shot up yesterday. Those that are into commodities can take a look at this one. But we do find an expanding triangle type pattern on the charts and hence some caution is necessary. WTI prices have set up $92 as an important resistance and this would need to be crossed for us to worry about the situation in oil. Rising Crude has a very dampening effect on the market sentiments and hence this is something to keep track of.
Nifty has an important price pivot at 5465 and yesterday has moved above this level. As long as it retains above this level, we can remain bullish but if declines give up this level easily then forget about bullish views.
Strategy for the day: As suggested, lets first check out whether there is follow thru on the advance before committing to long positions on the Nifty. Check for breadth and leadership in case of continued advances. Better prospects appear to be available in Banking and IT and hence readers should look there for some tradable opportunities. Stocks are wearing quite a mixed look and therefore some proactive approach would be required for the day.
Stocks to buy if market is strong
| MOTHERSON SUMI Prices rocketed last session on aggressive buying and closed near the days high. Looking at this move on the daily chart we find that prices are on the verge of breaking out from a broad trading range. Yesterdays move has led RSI break out of 60 region after a long time and looking good for a further rally. Buy.
This newly listed counter after an extensive decline since its listing in Dec 2010, finally bottomed out at 230 levels and has been attempting a pullback in the last couple of weeks. Yesterday we saw this counter rising once again after a two day breather. This bounce back has triggered a fresh buy here.
