TECHNICAL OUTLOOK: Bears cause an impact.

Market Outlook: Indian markets are expected to open on a flat note. On the global space US equity markets end mixed amid Greece debt woes and Asian markets are trading with moderate losses. On domestic space monsoon rains were 9% below normal in last week to June 15 stating that monsoon is running 5 days behind schedule across country and there was slight deficit only in a few pockets like West Rajasthan this could be the reason for short term underperformance in the market. On the overall basis we expect Indian market trade on cautious note with support near 5350 and any positive breakout would be expected only after 5500.

Global events to watch for:

Þ Consumer Sentiment.

Þ Leading Indicators.

TECHNICAL OUTLOOK: Bears cause an impact.

We wrote about the significance of the downside gap and we got yet another one yesterday. Yet again, the gap was closed intra day but then prices broke down again towards the later part of the day and finished weak. This continues the bearish bias of the market and therefore we should maintain such a bias as we step into today also.

One was a bit surprised at the fact that the break of 5400 did not produce much of a drive downward. Clearly, then, not much of pending longs were there to be stopped out at sub 5400 levels. What about the delta players? The OI at 5400P is still the highest but the break did not really produce much action. On an average we reckon that the 5400P seller must have got about 40-50 points. So perhaps the delta player action may commence from a little lower? This remains to be seen. But we do have some supports coming thru around 5365 so it is a tossup whether the support reaches first or the delta guys panic first. More action may occur only if the latter happens.

In yesterday's options action we continue to find addition to calls and shedding of puts. Also put addition has moved lower, to the 5300/5200 levels and such a shift in the put strikes usually indicates a market making room for more declines. IVs are cheap enough for people to go long. The weekly chart is not building up well for this week. A decline today will be making it worse.

Among the stories that are doing the rounds these days is a series of names related to buy backs/delisting/open offers etc. There are so many names going around that it is beginning to look fishy. We suggest readers avoid such stocks or play them with high caution. Bata for example is hitting some resistances around 575 we feel. However the story doing the rounds here is for Adidas to buy back at 800!! Pause to think why they could not do it a year ago when the price was 200? Until last year Bata was a real estate story and now it is a stake sale story! Idea is also another name being talked about for a stake sale at 135! But at least here the charts are in support so long as the prices hold above 72. Moral of the story is: check the charts for possibilities of continuation of the trend continuing rather than chase the rumors.

STRATEGY FOR THE DAY: Bias is still downward and if the NF pushes beneath 5400 levels readers should trade short and stay short. Check out the Bank nifty and leading bank stocks for signs of recovery as a clue whether the nifty will go lower. If that is not seen then continue with a short campaign. Stocks are pretty mixed and only very select ones are venturing upward and that too on specific news. So tread carefully. If market goes lower then participation in declines should be good.

Stocks to buy if market is strong:

UTV SOFTWARE: After sky rocketing during the first week of this month, prices witnessed a halt thereafter and were seeing consolidating laterally near the highs. This has formed a bullish Pennant pattern on the charts. Yesterdays fresh move has indicated possibility of a breakout from here. Go long if higher.

Entry	Stop	Target
Buy above 752	7 points	764 / 770-71

Stocks to sell if market is weak:

SRF: Prices plunged last session on heavy sell off and broke free from the last few sessions small ranged sideways move. They had been struggling to exceed resistance of 200-EMA and yesterdays fresh sell has now renewed the prior fall. Go short.

Entry	Stop	Target
Sell below 295	2.5 points	291 / 289-88
Or rally to 298-99	2.5 points	294 / 292

BAJAJ FINANCE: This counter has seen a sharp fall this week with prices plunging on all sessions. Yesterdays continued decline has sliced thru good supports on the daily time frame and closed lower. RSI too has broken support at 40 and moved lower. Overall sentiment continues to be weak, sell.

Entry	Stop	Target
Sell below 580	6 points	570 / 565 / 562
Or rally to 588-90	6 points	580-79 / 573
