Stocks in action for the day: United Spirits, ONGC, Lanco, GTL Infra.

Market Outlook: Indian Markets are expected to open in positive terrain on the back of global constructive trends and lower crude prices. On the global space Wall Street advances; Dow Jones up 145 points following to that Asian markets continued to trade higher; Nikkei, Hang Seng up. On the overall basis we expect Indian market trade on cautious note with support near 5500 and any positive breakout would be expected only after 5620.

TECHNICAL OUTLOOK: Running into resistance.

The market traded up into the monthly pivot at 5563 rather early in the day and though it did come back a couple of times from the intra day lows, the effort was quite unable to cross the morning high. Is that a signal from the market that maybe it is done with the current rise? Or, are we reading too much into it? OK, lets keep it this way. The first fall from the high brought the index down to 5490 and then it has rallied to a lower top. Now if the index breaks below 5490 without creating a new high, then it would be the first signal of some bearish intent. What if it doesn't? Well then it is aiming for that resistance band that we told you about- at 5585-5610. Pointing to the upward possibility is the fact that the Bank Nifty continues to fare well. Unlike the Nifty, the Bank nifty has managed to exceed the monthly pivot as well. Its target resistance is not seen until around 11300 and that still leaves some decent room on the upside to participate. It can also mean a continuation of the rise in the Nifty towards the suggested higher targets. But before we get carried away with that possibility, just take a look at the attached chart of today which shows the Bank Nifty intra day with pitchfork channels. The chart shows the prices are at the median line as of yesterday and have also formed a pivot there- implying a possible reversal. Now, which one do we go with- the higher target or the median line? We solve that debate by stating that if the prices take on the ML and cross it at 11120, then the higher target would be opening up. So the final conclusion on the index matter would be thus: upward potential exists but overhead resistance is at hand. Crossing of the resistance would open up higher targets and only in that case should one consider the higher levels.


Option positions were somewhat indistinct yesterday. It seemed like some straddles and strangles in ATM strikes were being added. This is indicative of a mindset that is not expectant of much higher levels from the current prices. That makes it even more important to get on the bullish bandwagon only after the market confirms it. Looking at the July series, we find that the highest position is built at the 5600 Call and the 5300 Put, indicating a slight negative bias.


The short GTL trade should be continued. Remember we have indicated a target of around 80-85 levels for this trade and remain quite convinced of the decline as the stock has only be reiterating its intent to go lower. OFSS and Idea were indicated as a buys too, based on the bullish possibilities on the charts. These positional plays too need to be continued as the prices are confirming the bullishness. The stop loss on the positional Nifty long and Bank Nifty long should now be raised to 5512 and 10970.

STRATEGY FOR THE DAY: While we continue to look higher in the index as signs of weakness has not yet exhibited, we also take added caution of tightening stops. Fresh trades need to be taken with some caution but if the market remains strong then they do need be taken, remember that. One need not fear the market if adequate care has been taken about stops and risks.
