Technical Outlook : Global markets keeps market under check

Yesterday was a breather time for our market, as they maintained a small range owing to high volatility and closed with modest gains. Last couple of sessions had seen a sharp sell off and hence some consolidation was imminent. The market had been under a lot of bearish pressure owing to several factors like poor IIP and inflation numbers last week, disappointing Infosys results that was less than expected, weak global cues on account of the ECB and its Chinese counterpart hiking rates; Sovereign debt concerns resurfacing in the eurozone with Portugal being the latest victim, S&P downgrading its outlook on the US sovereign rating to negative from stable, etc. Also, rising Crude oil prices continues to be a major concern.

With the indices struggling to find reasons to sustain the gains made earlier, the supports are surely under a lot of pressure. The choppiness also is a sign that the traders are left confused, finding no solid reason yet to buy the dips. Hence they now await further signals on how to proceed from current levels. On the attached daily chart we also see that the descending Gann line resistance has been playing truant to any rally attempts so far. The session before last saw the Nifty Ind breaking the 50% retrenchment support at 5757 and closed below it. Last sessions choppy trade managed to bounce back and end on a positive note but below the 50% region, thus making it the immediate resistance to be breached to continue any higher.

Incase of a further dip from here, some important supports for the Nifty Fut falls around 5710-05 and 5652 levels. RSI has managed to hold on to its support at 40 and move up slightly last session. Volume action seems average. Coming up on Thursday is the results of two heavyweights, TCS and Reliance, that is something everyone will be keeping an eye on. There is also favourable news coming from the IMD saying it expected a normal monsoon this year, which means two consecutive years of good monsoon. As mentioned in the previous letter, market has to make a higher bottom here in order to sustain and move up afresh. For dip buys, keep a close watch on the above mentioned supports.

STRATEGY FOR THE DAY: There is clearly indecision in the market at the moment and hence the wise thing here would be to lie low and take trades with caution. Wait for some signals to emerge and then trade in the direction of the move. There is hope that the market will bounce back from current levels or on further dip. In that case, keep an eye on the supports and wait for the opportunity. This stock breached 50 DMA and gave aggressive sell off from that level, which had proved to be a crucial support in recent sessions. This gives clear bearish signal. Volume was also in average lines and RSI also has moved down afresh this week. Overall sentiment continues to remain weak. Look to go SHORT.
