Technical outlook: Follow through awaited...

Market Outlook: Indian markets could see some profit booking attempts after a spectacular rally after budget session. Domestically higher crude prices and high inflations are still a concerns for economic growth. Global markets are supportive as Wall St ends higher; crude touches multi-year highs and Asian mkts trading higher; Nikkei, Seoul Composite up. Overall outlook for the markets today is that of cautious optimism as the bulls must hold the Nifty above the 5450 levels sustain ably to manage an upmove in the coming session wherein market has a strong resistance at 5600.

Technical outlook: Follow through awaited...

Market pulled back strongly on Tuesday, recovering almost everything it lost on Friday and then adding some more. Most are now saying that this is the "true" verdict of the budget. Is it? We dont know. On budget day it pushed down and on the next day it pushed up. That makes the score about even, wouldn’t you say? So, it is really the way the market moves now that will truly give us an idea about how the market feels. But one thing is for sure- the views on the budget have at least held back the sellers. It may not have produced too much buying yet though. Tuesday's rally saw only a marginal rise in the nifty futures OI. There were more stocks hitting 52 week lows than 52 week highs on that day! So, there was this big illusion of an uptrend but the innards of the rally was still bad.


Now one of the interesting things about the market is that the next turn date for the market is about at least 6 trading sessions away. This leaves us with lots of possibilities from day and swing trading perspectives. Will they all be trended or will they churn? We think there may be a series of small trends now. There is a possibility of a larger pattern here (called Mirror fold back) that would now suggest a possible ranging action for about 2 months! Thats right. 2 months. If this happens (it has to be confirmed yet) then the best way to go would be for short options. We shall keep track of this pattern and keep informing readers about its progress. This pattern suggests a gentle downward slope in the index from the current 5550 levels down to around 5250 levels by May or so. We are alerting readers to this possibility so that they may keep this at the back of their minds. Else it is easy to get lost in the noise in the market!


Bank Nifty rallied strongly on Tuesday. it is nearing resistance around 10950. Look for consistent follow thru else it may falter here. The resistance is a decent one and hence to be respected.

STRATEGY FOR THE DAY: Market may begin lower based on overseas feeds. Look for the lows of the first 30 minutes to remain intact if the rise has to take hold. Keep 5465 as the jey price level for the day to hold on to. On the lower side one can look to buy first dips up to 5380 levels with suitable stops. But not below this. On the higher side if prices can move and hold above 5505 then consider that the bulls will be in charge for the day and other counters can also be traded suitably. Odds are about the same for either side today.
