Technical Outlook: May starts on a weak footing ...

The April expiry ended lower than March as prices gave way towards the end of the day. Not that they had shown any spine earlier. We had mentioned yesterday that below 5815 one should keep a bearish bias. For much of the day the 5815 was defended but the fact that no upside rally could emerge from there was a signal that matters would peter out towards the later part of the day. A couple of in-line results and a couple of others that were good but still the reaction to them was not so good, tilted the balance. Banking sector stocks tumbled towards the end and carried the index lower. At the end about 1 cr shares expired in NF and the May series starts with about 2.23cr shares. No major changes in that from the last month. Bank Nifty starts the month with about 7.4 lac shares, again no big change from the start of positions last month. On the options front, 6000 Call and 5600 Put are the strikes with the highest OI (around 35-37L). The size of the positions are sedate.


Yesterday's letter mentioned about how market was not ready to push thru into a trend and that meant we had to remain idle. April has been a choppy month so it would have been difficult for traders to make money. Those who were gamma short of course made some money. But directional players would have lost out. Results flow has not done much for trends. Hence it is unlikely that we would see any big trended action today as sentiments can remain subdued.


Today's chart is the daily chart of NF given yesterday but a zoomed in version. the same resistance line shown yesterday is still there. Note big bearish candle for yesterday. The addition to the chart is three rising support 2x1 angle lines from recent low pivots. it is seen that prices have dropped down into the second one. If prices continue lower today then note that the third angle line is a bit further away and hence support is not near by. That line is placed around 5715. Previous drop stopped at the second 2x1 line (on 19 Apr) so can it work its effect again today? No way to tell except to see how prices fare today. In case it does, then there are two resistances on the way up to negotiate- 5878 and then 5905. No bullish view until market challenges these.

Strategy for the day: The day's bias remains neutral and hence day traders will have to take their cue from the momentum established in the morning. Alternatively, it may be a better strategy to follow the levels on the Table and use a range approach to trading.
