TECHNICAL OUTLOOK: Running into resistance.

All the points we made on the Nifty in our letter of yesterday remain valid for today also as the prices have traded up into the target resistance zone of 5585-5610. We have been advocating an exit long strategy on this move. But the Nifty seems in no mood to relent. Prices closed above the 5600 levels yesterday and there are clear expectations that we may see an upside gap move today. If that happens, then the rise will probably continue. We have an immediate target at 5625 but that may be easily surpassed with the current momentum, especially if there is a gap. So, is it wrong to recommend a book profit at these levels? Ultimately, market trading is about analysis, trade entries and management and proper exit. We have analyzed correctly the situation and suggested an entry for our positional players around 5280-90. We have asked them to hold on until this target zone is reached. Now we are asking them to exit on the belief that principle of safety is better than valor in the market. The trend is not so strong that it can carry substantially higher. Big moves to happen on expiry days, no doubt. But why take a risk? You are paying us to find you low risk trade set ups and strategies. And that is exactly the reason for the exit long recommendation. Those who are prone to higher risk taking can of course ignore the recommendation and go down their own road.


Where we find continued strength, like in Bank Nifty, we have been indicating continuing the trade. The prices struggled all day long yesterday but then managed to exceed the 11120 levels that we had tagged as an important resistance. The close is well above this and hence we can expect that the Bank Nifty should continue towards the next target around 11300. Readers are advised to take their long trades off as you go into that target zone. For those who wish to play the long side of the Nifty today, the safe route would be long 5700 call. There was a sizable build up in this strike yesterday in options and hence market players are clearly punting for this to happen. In addition, we continue to see substantial addition in 5600/5500 puts, implying further upmoves being possible. Therefore it looks to be a worthwhile punt.


Sugar shares were up yesterday on news. There could be some more upside in them. International prices moving past 26c/pound would be a further fillip to sugar stocks. So do keep track of this fact as we move along. Metal stocks too were in good form. Since they are coming off a trough, short covering should see them thru into today as well. Sterile has been put on the buy list by Goldman Sachs. Such events usually see a day or two of buying emerge from these circles. We mention these kind of stocks only when the news/event tallies with some sort of pattern on the chart. This is so in all of the above cases.

STRATEGY FOR THE DAY: Expiry bias is for further gains and hence one should be looking for some safe punts. We have suggested one way to deal with this but you can make your own too. Rolls have progressed smoothly enough and hence no major action from arbitrage positions is expected at the end of the day. Stocks from sugar, metals are looking positive and should be looked at for trades.
