TECHNICAL OUTLOOK: Bulls into action...?

We waited patiently for a rally to emerge and were rewarded with some brisk moves yesterday. About time, as we had also stated in yesterday's letter. The market really stretched it but one was relieved to see it come thru. The rise was strong, speeding steadily towards the monthly pivot- something we are seeing after a few months! The attached chart of today is NF 60 minutes where the arrow shows how the turnaround happened rather nicely and as laid out by the technical set up. After having met with resistance at the bands several times in the past, the prices cross it and then tap down into it to take fresh support and then zoomed away. Now that we are at the monthly pivot, what is the probability? Can it go thru and continue higher? Certainly looks possible but having reached the monthly pivots, one should be alert for some halt too. This is true for the Bank Nifty too. The quarterly pivot in this case too is around 10950. So if the markets have to move higher, then they will really have to show some extra strength.

Option markets seem to be suggesting that though. The IV has dropped a couple of points in recent days so market seems to be rather comfortable with the rise. Lots of Puts got added yesterday, taking the PCR to 1.3. Certainly a far cry from the last month when PCR was consistently below 1. Yesterday's put additions appear to be clearly directional in nature (unlike the earlier days of option action). So looks like market is becoming a bit decisive here. The breadth was very good yesterday, with all sectors in the blue and almost the entire list from Futures being in the positive. Is that some kind of overkill? Could it be some sort of NAV ramping for the month by funds? These are nagging questions that refused to go away from the mind.

Next up for resistance is 5680 levels, which still leaves enough room on the top. It is possible that index may move slower while action shifts to the stocks. Retail could be back in action. After all they have been waiting for quite some time to get back in the game. If this is so, then we should see small cap stocks from futures list as well as good momentum action in the B group. Watch for this as a confirmation of such a situation before acting. On the lower side, daily pivot at 5520 would offer first support while gap area support around 5480 would be next. dips into these zones will remain buying opportunities for today.

STRATEGY FOR THE DAY: Retain the bullish bias of yesterday but do watch whether pullbacks continue to carry further and break supports. if that happens then it is better to close out long positions and wait by the sidelines. Shorts are indicated only for aggressive players. Watch the signal as mentioned to engage in momentum investing plays. Unless it looks like the trend may sustain for a few days or more momentum plays become garlands in the neck. Sugar and Fertiliser stocks looked to be action. Maybe some govt announcements on the way, perhaps. Check and trade.

Stocks to buy if market is strong:

RAYMOND: This counter witnessed a two way move but the bulls won the battle by a great margin and prices closed on a high note. Looking at the chart we note that they dipped down towards support at 200-EMA and finding some heavy buying near the intraday low, bounced back sharply to end above a strong descending Gann line resistance. Consider going long here.

Buy above 90	1.5 points	92 / 93
Or dips to 88.5	1.5 points	90-91

Stocks to sell if market is weak:

M & M FINANCIAL: Sharp sell off in this counter has triggered yet another fresh sell signal here.

With both price and momentum taking a beating, we advise going short here.
