TECHNICAL OUTLOOK: Tame expiry.......

Low range volatility prevailed yesterday in the market and created troubles for day traders. This was particularly marked towards the end when the market dipped sharply and then swung around viciously to the other side, catching a lot of people completely unawares and not leaving them time to make repairs. This is typical operator action and there is nothing to do except to lick your wounds and go on. Every now and then things like this will happen. Operators are experts at finding markets leaning to one side and resourceful enough to take advantage of it.

May has been a poor month for trading long in futures and short in options (which more or less is the practice of most retail traders). Damage would surely have occurred to the bank balance. Add in lack of trend strength (like, for example, most of the month it was difficult to realise that we had a 400 point decline in May!), lack of volumes (both retail and institutional), FII pulling out, domestics MFs on the sidelines, lackluster newsflow and continued robust commodity markets. June is a long month (expiry on 30th) and that would keep option traders also a bit tentative. All in all these elements make for a recipe for some tentative price action at least into the first week of June.

June series is at a discount to May so will begin with a downward gap. But daily pivot is at 5385 and the broken Gann angle support is around 5402. A down 1x1 angle line from the Nov top will be crossed if prices are above 5405. So we do have a cluster today and if market is able to exceed this cluster resistance near 5400, then one could go long with a small stop of 10-15 points on the Nifty. Cant get a smaller stop than that! Bank Nifty hangs on with dear life to the support and despite yesterday's shenanigans, continues to flash some bullish signals. Stop is below 10350, again rather near. It is still in with a chance of leading the Nifty out of the hole that it is currently fallen into. Be alert for buy trades in both indices today. What if it stays down? we think better to wait for Bank Nifty to signal that prospect than to run with just the moves in the Nifty. Not enough leaders are crackling for the Nifty to make a run by itself right now. Also with expiry completed, independent action in NF may not be there as much. If Bank Nifty falters, then consider shorts in NF.

About 1.43 cr shares well expired in May, a larger number than the average in recent months. June series starts with 2.08 cr shares, lower than recent months. Bank Nifty starts with about 15L shares, on par with recent months with about 4.5 L shares expired in May. Cnx IT continues to have negligible OI. In options 5400P (60L) and 5600C (41L) start out as the largest OI strikes. Range is too narrow for a long month so this will shift. The large OIs at 5000/5100 appear ominous but could well be part of some spread strategies (long near the money put and short these strikes as a spread). lets see how the situation evolves in the options this month.

STRATEGY FOR THE DAY: Tentative beginning s appear to be on the cards. However, as discussed above, the buy points are not too far away and hence we should be alert for this prospect. Heed the warning on the situation on the Bank sector as a cue on index moves. Stocks are all over the place but there seems to be some concerted move in upstream oil stocks. So keep an eye on ONGC`s, RIL and the like for some action. Smaller PSUs banks are still witnessing selling so dont bottom fish there. Stick to the big boys in banking.
