Market Outlook: Indian markets are expected to open in positive terrain and trade on a flat note. On the global space US equity markets end mixed amid Greece debt woes and Asian markets trading firm; Nikkei, Hang Seng gain. Investors worldwide are more risk-averse because of the European crisis and this will result in the market trending lower over a period of time. On the overall basis we expect Indian market trade on cautious note with support near 5320 and any positive breakout would be expected only after 5420.

TECHNICAL OUTLOOK: Are we through with the decline...?
The expected has happened- i.e. the drop to 5360. There was high consensus on it. What next? Nothing. A fresh consensus has to build! We believe that most people in the market would have been able to handle the last week rather easily because the market behaved like a nice schoolboy! But difficulties shall emerge this week as many a trader and analyst would be torn between whether to call for more declines or for a rally first. This can cause some to and fro moves early in the week and create volatility. We need to be aware of this possibility so that we can provide for it in our trades. How to do that? In the early part of the week, don't be looking for any big breakout action, treat rallies with some suspicion and recheck downside breakouts for validity and potential to sustain before taking part in them. Seems like a lot of work? Well, no one said trading was easy! Many only think so, until they realize the truth!
PCR has dropped down into that dreaded 1.09 range again. The lower it goes towards 1.0 the greater the chances that the downtrend will gather strength. So be alert for this. Calls are being piled on by traders as though the market is never going to recover! But lets also acknowledge that the smart set as well as the big players today are all in the options and futures are just a hedge for this play. So we don't want to sneeze at this build up of call shorts, oh no! Particularly when we find that the venerated (for this month, that is) 5400 levels has quietly shed a lot of its position (down from 1.1 cr shares to 69 L only by Friday) and allowed the 5300 and 5200 to overtake it! This clearly is evidence indicative of more declines ahead.
Gazing ahead, we find that the next support cluster is only around 5250. That is a good 100 points away- enough to make some money out of shorts, if such is indicated. The chart of today is Nifty 30 minutes with a channel. We are near support all right. But does the market have the spine to rally? Will someone step up to the wicket to knock the ball about a bit here? Cant really see it happening. So, best to wait for some weakness to show or for a rally into near term resistance (read 5435) to enter some fresh shorts. Or buy into 5200 puts. Or do a ratio spread if you think that the decline may not be too much (buy 5300 and sell 2x 5200). Lots of choices. All except Buying of course!!!
STRATEGY FOR THE DAY: If a down gap open, apply our usual five minute rule for a reversal. Chances are that market may go lower since overseas advises are not positive. It may come back a bit on short covering before the RBI meet. But do keep a sharp watch on the bank sector stocks today as directed as they will determine the trends. Not a day for adventure, that is for sure. So avoid those cheap stocks as well as tips from sundry people. In case of declines, can go long puts as there is room for a drop and speed could be decent for options to come home.
