TECHNICAL OUTLOOK: Bears take control.

Market Outlook: Indian markets are expected to open with a gap down on the back of global selloff and trade cautious on the back of rate hike expectations. On the global space Global stocks, euro fall on wrangling over Greek aid while Asian markets following the suit. RBI is likely to hike its repo rate by 25 bps today. It is likely to follow this up with two more rate hikes of 25 bps each in August and September before taking its foot off the rate hiking pedal and pausing to assess the impact of past tightening measures on inflation. On the overall basis we expect Indian market trade on cautious note with support near 5450 and any positive breakout would be expected only after 5600.

Þ Jobless Claims.

Then market opened with a down gap and was never really able to make it up for the rest of the day. This is important. We notice that this is the 4th downward opening gap since the topping out on 3rd June. Usually, gaps are seen in the direction of the trend. Even though some of the gaps were filled it does not change the picture. There were no upside gaps on any day since then. hence the trend bias is clearly down. The way the market has traded yesterday also suggests that there was some selling afoot. The intra day dips saw increase in volumes while the rallies (actually sideways consolidations intra day rather than rallies) were all on low volumes. We finished a bit off the low but that seems to have been on short covering. The NF had traded at 15 point premium in the morning and by later part of the day this premium had vanished. Many times this indicates some renewed shorts getting into the market.

The options positions too indicate similarly. The calls were added but this time around, in addition, the puts were unwound. It is when both these events happen simultaneously that we should take a greater notice. this sharply increases the chances of a follow thru decline on the next day. Now we have this Greece news to grapple with once again and that is certainly not going to keep the US or Europe in happy state. It will also sharpen the Dollar and lead to some declines in the commodities. There is every chance that we may open gap down today. If that happens below the 5430 levels then we will have a continuation of the decline towards the next lower target around 5365. So if the market cannot revive after a weak start today then it is better to join the bears in their outing during the day.

Advance tax numbers should start rolling today and that may have some impact on the stock moves. RBI policy is something that the market may look at. Upto 25 bps rise seems to be in the prices already. More may be a dampener. SBI has been hammered in advance. At 2192, the prices are at 50% retracement of the entire advance from 2009 low. So time to be a bit careful here. A one year low is seen around 2140. Watch these levels for some tractions today. Banks carry about 20-22% weightage totally on the Nifty. Hence this sector should be watched today for the tipping point of the trend as there is an event that could trigger their moves. Yesterday all of them were down and look poised a bit weak. IT is the other one looking a bit weak and could drag index down if they continue to remain soft today.

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.
