TECHNICAL OUTLOOK: Declines not witnessing participation....

Market tried to go lower but the 5400 level seems to have been well defended. Remember, we wrote about the lack of unwinds at the 5400 put a couple of days ago? Well this continues to be the main signal yet. This strike continues to add more OI and at 79L shares, it towers over all the other strikes on the Put side. So clearly there is someone defending this rather strongly. What about the build up that we saw in the 5200 Puts over the last two sessions? Well, that seems to have halted some. At 64L shares that OI is no slouch either so that issue is yet unsettled. But days are now beginning to run out. We have only another 5 days to go to expiry and if that 5200 strike has to finish in the money, then the market has to show some very brisk movements. One thought that keeps nagging at the mind is whether a good chunk of the 5400 put itself could be long positions? After all, the positions got added as prices traded down into the strike. Although the 5400 level is still being held, we should remain alert about renewed attacks. As far as calls were concerned, it seemed like a rather insipid day.

A small higher bottom compared to Wednesday low. Is that enough? Maybe too tentative. The day's pattern was one of a small range- something like an NR7 pattern. That is usually indicative of some larger move in the offing soon. Can it be downwards? Well, the index is trading beneath the short term trendline as well as different period averages. The response to various news items have been negative (including some good news) and hence sentiment bias is definitely towards the bearish side. PCR continues to be below 1 and long put positions seem to have been built. Our job is to go on the weight of evidence and not on our feelings. Here the bunch of evidences that we have enumerated are all pointing further south.

Lets try to list some positives. On the daily chart, the index has hit the rising 1x2 Gann angle line on two successive days. Today's level for that trendline is 5410. If it fails to go below that, then it would be another mild positive. On the daily charts, the divergence pattern that we had been looking for has formed. The daily pivot is almost the same as the earlier day, around 5430 and towards the end the prices surged to reach that. Prices are still able to sustain above 5400 (as already discussed above). Reading back, not much to go on. So upside is really going to be an effort. One thing that may save the bulls bacon today is if the bears come in to cover being a weekend. That could make for some mild upside.

STRATEGY FOR THE DAY: We can continue to keep a slight bullish bias despite the late day sell off on Friday. Bank sector as well as the index have traded well and they are usually good indicator of sentiments. Friday also saw lot of large cap names up and about and hence suggest some upside. Hence look for index to stay above weekly pivot. Stock action may continue to be focused on the large caps names so concentrate there for tradable.

Stocks to buy if market is strong:

MAGMA FINCORP After some steady consolidation around 56 levels the prices have shown some inclination to move higher. The sharp surge witnessed on Friday has sparked the buying sentiment. The breakout from the range indicates that the bulls are again in the fray inviting us to long in this counter.

Entry	Stop	Target
Buy above 71	2 points	73.50 / 75.50
or Dips near 68	2 points	70.50 / 72.50

ADITYA BIRLA NUVO: This textile counter has been witnessing some rapid moves after bottoming out last week to stage a breakout and close above the value area resistance. The strong rise has being backed by bullish sentiments suggesting buying interest emerging at lower levels. As positive bias continues to push the prices stay alert for going long.

Entry	Stop	Target
Buy above 861	7 points	872 / 880
Or dips to 852-854	7 points	863 / 871

Stocks to sell if market is weak:

BERGER PAINTS The sharp rise upwards did not last long as the colour began to wear off as the negative sentiment started seeping in . With bears having a strong grip on the counter one can expect the downtrend to continue. With more room on the downside one can expect the fall to continue go short.

Entry	Stop	Target
Sell below 100	1.5 points	97.50 / 95.50
Rally near 102.50	1.5 points	100 / 98
