TECHNICAL OUTLOOK: All set for a rally...

The reversal on Friday was along expected lines. After all the normal market moves indicate that a nine day successive fall is certainly a stretch and hence some corrective action is due. Intraday, we saw a fakeout action that confirmed that the rally would set in. there was a running of the stops during midsession after which the market headed higher, finishing better. Not much selling came thru as the market rose, probably indicating that most people are done with the selling by now. Hence the upward path could well be the path of least resistance for now.


In the last week we had mentioned about the divergence pattern on the charts. We had stated that this pattern was visible on the intra day charts but for it to appear on the daily charts a rally would be necessary. The same has begun to unfold now. The divergence pattern on the daily would be created during a subsequent fall. Now that may take a shape of a new low beneath the one created in the last week or it could set up a couple of lows above the last low where the pattern could develop too. The main point is that there is going to be at least one if not more dips before a bottom sealing can be called for. Hence we should not get carried away by any advance that may happen here. It will NOT be the start of another upward leg and therefore has to be dealt with like that from a trading point of view.


There are two ways to deal with it. The more active players can go with the rally, trading long (as they should have done from Friday) and then reversing to short when there is evidence of rally completion. The positional player however can await the completion of the rally and then short for the next decline (as this would be in line with the changed short term trend). Depending on how the reader sees himself, the suitable trade can be taken. This is for the index. For stocks the situation could be applied to those that are well correlated to the index. For other stocks, independent strategies would have to be created on a case by case basis.


On Friday we saw the PCR tick up a bit so it appears that the call shorting has eased. We also saw puts being squared, implying perhaps that no further declines are anticipated. These have to be, doubtless, long puts. (It would have the exact opposite meaning if the short puts were being squared though!). there is no further spike in IVs so it does appear that the market is not expecting more declines for now.


The most telling signal comes from the Bank nifty that opened and traded significantly better after closing near its worst on Thursday. Since Bank sector has been much the backbone of the recent rally, the shape of the move promises a decent follow thru. So this is the sector to play for the rally, in all probability.


Breakout buys today on NF are above 5580 while dip buys are around 5500. On the bank nifty it is a buy if it can stay positive compared to Friday. No need for any levels since the signal has already been flashed.

STRATEGY FOR THE DAY: The bias has shifted back to the positive and hence we look to buy dips or to buy breakouts today. Since the market is set off on a rally (seemingly) we want to trade both the approaches as we cannot afford to miss out (for aggressive players, that is). Since the NF has targets upto 5620-50 there is room for even for 1-2 day traders to take part on the long side if the market continues to rally. Bank sector stocks look well poised to continue and hence pay attention here for day trades. In case this sector does not perform, then expect the day to become range bound later. IT may also do well so keep a lookout there for some tradable stocks.

Stocks to buy if market is strong:

DECCAN CHRONICLE

The sharp declines over the past few trading sessions bottomed out last Thursday and gave a strong breakout above the value area resistance around 73 levels and close above it. The surge in volumes signals the resumption of bullish trend in this counter. With momentum favoring the bulls one can look to go long.

Or dip to 75

77/79/80

JUBILIANT FOODWORKS

The past three sessions of indecisiveness gave a strong follow through on the upside as the bulls wrested the initiative to stage a remarkable upward traction. The spurt in volumes helped the RSI revive from 60 levels highlighting that the bulls are very much in control. One can explore buying opportunity today.

Buy above 712

715 / 722 / 729

Stocks to sell if market is weak:

KEC INTERNATIONAL

This counter exhausted its trend status after it ran into its prior top around 94 and since then its only downhill for this counter. The sharp selling interest triggered the gap area support and prices have closed below it on the daily charts. As the momentum weakens one can conclude that the bears are in no mood to spare this counter and downtrend is likely to sustain.
