Technical outlook: Oil and Politics takes its toll...
Market opening down with a gap put the seal on things, as it were. Coupled with the DMK problem and rising oil prices, the trends were hard pressed to stage any rallies during the day. But towards the latter part of the day we did see some life come back into the index as some brisk short covering emerged on rumors that the political tangle may be avoided. The NF traded at a premium of about 15 points to the spot suggesting a lot of shorts getting covered.
Prices are still in a range and within a range they always remain sensitive to news. So be on the watch our for DMK issue getting resolved, to oil related news, to some news on Dollar etc as all of these will impact the prices. Also, volumes are not too high (yesterday was a low volume day for the market as a whole) and volatility spikes are greater when volumes are down.
The daily pivot as well as the weekly pivot are now both placed around the 5450-60 levels. That makes today's trades around this level quite significant. So do watch how the market fares around this pivot level. Yesterday's sharp dip below the weekly pivot and then the spirited pullback towards the later part of the day has reset the odds to neutral once again. But we need to see follow thru action today to build on that recover from the lows. If it fails to happen then the trends will be in trouble.
We have three time pivots for this month. The first was on the 4th and was a high. The next is on the 10th and the third one is around 18th. We can expect the pivot on 10th to be a low considering that the market has rallied sharply into the first TCD and then wilted a bit. If this has to be so then we should be seeing the market softening today. So watch the action around the price pivot given above. Hourly chart attached today shows the index trading at the level of the MA bands. On the daily chart it is clearly below the bands. Hence give the benefit of doubt to the bears and not the bulls. Yesterday's gap zone at 5515 should prove to be a good resistance that needs to be crossed and held for bullish thoughts to be entertained.
STRATEGY FOR THE DAY: The DMK problem could have receded some but a good portion of the rally for this news was already done yesterday. So may expect a flat open and then trades will flow based on other news. Use the pivots as explained to judge the status of the trend for the day and then trade accordingly. if the prices fluctuate around the pivot, then consider that the trends are flat and so it would not be worth trading the indices. Wait for a clear move either above or below the pivot to trade indices today. Stocks continue to wear a very mixed look and hence look for news/events associated with stocks/sector and go for those for day trading.
