Technical Outlook : In a state of confusion...
It proved to be a pretty dull day for a new week and that was a bit surprising. The index was on the cusp of a breakout as were so many other stocks. Reliance did not do too badly and its losses were offset by better trends in SBI. still the market could not muster up enough support from the buyers and as a result the trends dawdled along for almost the entire day. There were pockets of strength and weakness, all largely following news. the rollover action too remain rather subdued and we are currently running below 3 month average on rolls. This is significant considering that the stock futures positions have increased steadily across the last two weeks. Index futures positions have remained largely in line with recent averages.
One of the features of the results flow is the sudden downgrades that are beginning to appear for big names. Axis, Infosys, TCS etc were all downgraded by leading broking houses. Now this has not really been a feature earlier. If this trend grows then the market is in for a spot of trouble. In our weekly letter Trend Trader this Monday, we have already signaled an Exit Long mode to our subscribers. The fresh arrests in the 2G and CWG matters are not going to help sentiments either. So chances could be that the trends are going to roll over slowly to the downside? Be alert.
In yesterday's letter we had mentioned that the support around 5880 should break for some downward action. This happened rather late in the day and hence cannot really be considered for trades. Today we should be looking at whether that show of weakness persists. If it does then we have reason to look for more declines ahead. But if prices revive then we would again see yet another attempt to reinstall the bullishness. Both forces appear to be evenly matched right now. The news flow will certainly decide matters. So be aware of news and markets reaction to the same. If reactions are mixed then it would also call for having mixed positions too (i.e. one long and one short).
Moving average band supports, 38% retracement as well as some Gann angles are visible around 5845. Weekly pivot will offer support around 5820 levels. So between these two levels, the market should be pretty well held. Hence look for weakness only if the latter level breaks. On the upper side 5915 will offer the first resistance to upmoves. Bank Nifty could not maintain the pace seen last week. But individual Bank stocks are looking ok yet, particularly from the second tier. If the index sustains above 11880 then we can continue to see some upward traction in the stocks. So do keep track of this sector index and second rung bank stocks today.
Strategy for the day: Bias is mixed but news flow can reverse that bias without much difficulty. However in the absence of newsflow market could drift lower. Action may be slow if declines occur as index too has some supports not too far away on the downside. Banking stocks could probably hold the key for some trend action today so be alert over there. Small and mid cap stocks appear to be seeing some sell off so one should lay off the momentum investing scene for now.
Stocks to buy if market is strong
PRESTIGE ESTATE
Prices were seen skyrocketing last session on massive buying. This led prices to hit new swing highs. The long upper shadow was formed as prices gave up some intraday gains on profit booking and have closed below double resistances on the daily time frame. However, as the momentum has got a fresh boost and the counter continuing to look strong, dips can be a buying opportunity as well. Go long.
| Entry | Stop | Target |
| Buy above 153 | 2.5 points | 157 / 159-60 |
| Or dips to 148-47 | 2.5 points | 152 / 154 |
JUBILANT FOOD
This counter has been on a superb run in the last four weeks. Prices yesterady were back in action after a days breather, rising sharply and looks all set to move further high. RSI is above 60 and looking quite bullish. Volume backing is good as well. Buy.
| Entry | Stop | Target |
| Buy above 696 | 7 points | 710 / 718-19 |
| Buy on dips towards 687-85 | 7 points | 698 / 704 |
Stocks to sell if market is weak

After a steady rally from the low of 74, prices witnessed a halt in the run last week. After a struggle to resume the uptrend, prices turned the other way round last session and closed on a negative note. Momentum has taken a fresh dip as well. Sell if lower.
