TECHNICAL OUTLOOK: Market movements neutralized.

Market Outlook: Indian markets are expected to open in a negative trend on the back of unconstructive cues from the global peers. On the global space Wall Street falls after 4 day rally on Fed's comments and Asian markets trading lower; Hang Seng, Nikkei down. On the overall basis we expect Indian market trade on cautious note with support near 5190-5220 and any positive breakout would be expected only after 5420.

Global events to watch for:

Þ Jobless Claims.

Þ New Home Sales.

TECHNICAL OUTLOOK: Market movements neutralized.

For traders yesterday was somewhat of a write-off. the Nifty showed a range of 48 points while the Bank Nifty showed about 110 points. Now these ranges are tradable only by aggressive day traders who are looking for 10-15 points on the NF and similar on BNF. For the rest, it was no go. The only good thing that can emerge out of this is that yesterday was a narrow range pattern and usually, we get a trend resolution soon after a small range day. Will it be today? Sure can. Lets be prepared for it. the approach is pretty simple really. Just go in the direction of the break of either the high or low of yesterday. One caveat though. Since the range is small it is easy to engineer false breaks and therefore one should be ready for that too. so if there is a breakout and then prices reverse and go the other way with good volume and leadership, then jump ship and catch the new one. Don't think too much. There are indeed many people in this market who are capable of doing such a thing. Accept it and work around it.


IVs eased some to 19% while PCR upped a tad to 1.02. A couple of days of sideways action (although with narrowing range) has taken toll on the option prices. Straddles and strangles are losing value big time every day as expiry winds nearer. But if there is a downside break today then we could see IVs spike once again. If they do, then short straddles and strangles should be closed out. Keep a watch. Most market men expect a downward break as news flow seems to be negative. So not too many may be ready for an upside breakout. Be ready either way. On the lower side, a break of 5260 would be enough now to signal some weakness. More conservative people could wait for break of 5240. Market is already biased to upside after that sharp dip two days ago. If upmove occurs then there is room till 5330-40. Beyond these levels look for a trend to emerge and that has to be played with directional plays and not short options.


In today's chart note that that the dip of Monday was on a good price and time match using Fibonacci elements. Hence, if prices don't break down and start higher, one should act without hesitation as we would then be coming off a good price and time point.

STRATEGY FOR THE DAY: 5240/5280 continue to remain the lynchpins for the market trend for today too. Small range import has been discussed. be alert for trend evolution today and make sure to follow it if there is some good participation. Of course the market may simply decide not to do anything either. We have to be prepared for that too! Stocks are currently lacking any directional strength and are ready to turn at the drop of a hat. So be sensitive to that fact and dont hang around asking too many questions in case trends change quickly
