TECHNICAL OUTLOOK: Bears unable to push lower.......
The few positives that we had mentioned in yesterday's letter were of no use as the prices began lower once again and preferred to stay down for the rest of the day. Gaps this week have been downward. Typically gaps occur in the direction of the trend and hence the trend continues to remain down. The three days of this week have seen the prices remain under the mid daily pivots every day. This once again confirms the down trend status. We will know that there is a change when these two situations don’t recur.
Another point made in yesterday's letter was about the discount between May and June. Recall that we had suggested that readers could take a short roll trade and then reverse it when the spread narrowed. The spread, in the last couple of days has moved from around +2.5 to -12 yesterday, leaving you with a nice profit if this trade had been done. This spread moved back to around -6 levels by the close indicating that either the pressure of short rolls are over or that short covering itself may have commenced.
IN the June series, the 5000/5100 put strikes added some fresh OI. These two are the highest OI strikes. Is that an indication of more dips? Maybe not, as bulk of the OI here has been formed earlier itself. The 5400 call saw some demand, we felt and looks like some call hedges may have been put on there against short futures.
Bank Nifty still holds above the support at 10330 that we had flagged off earlier. But it is doing so rather tenuously and that is not too encouraging. We continue to remain positive about this index but with reduced intensity. One solace we are drawing is from the strong showing of BOI, which, we have often found, has some leadership indication. This stock was up during the day and remained up at the close. Perhaps there is hope for the Bank nifty yet. And if this has hope, so does the index.
With 5350 broken yesterday, the odds are still wavering towards bearishness but the daily pivot is nearby (5350 only) and hence hope continues to flutter in our breasts about some redemption today. But it is the expiry day and volatility is often a feature on such days. Rolls are below par and there could be some swap action at the end that can create some confounding action. Be careful about trading today.
STRATEGY FOR THE DAY: The situation remains more or less similar as yesterday as the index has finished near points from where pushing upward may not be difficult. The Bank nifty is also hanging on for dear life. All in all, not a very good situation but not hopeless either. People are getting dispirited so sentiment is pointing towards a turn. Still looking for Banks to pull the market out of the current hole.
