TECHNICAL OUTLOOK: Range continues to torment.....
The "nothing" day continued into yesterday. We did get a bit of a scare when the 5500 levels broke but looking at the total lack of follow thru on that trade, it was obvious that no major longs were really built up in the market. In quite a similar manner, the break of the day's high on a rally from that low also saw minimal action upward showing that there were no shorts set up either. So there you have it, the story of this market. A look at the volumes will also convince you what the scene is- it is quite pathetic. We had mentioned that the best way to approach this market would be thru short options. The 5500 straddle for example, keeps losing about 10-12 points every day. A short strangle 5600-5400 as another example loses about 3-5 points daily. This is another one to sell. No doubt there is risk attached to shorting options but so it is with long futures too. Once you enter the market, there is risk. Period. Decide how much of it you can handle and then choose your weapon.
There are plenty of those who are looking for the "sure thing" in the market. Those of you who are client managers or servicing institutional clients will know what we are talking about. They always say things like "tell me a high probability trade". This is utter nonsense. Every trade has exactly the same odds of working out unless you are the one who is running the scrip! It is our job to assess a possibility, take a position and then track it to see whether that possibility is likely to play out in the manner in which we visualized it. If it does, we keep it; if it doesn't, we exit. That is all there is to it. Do not be among those who make trading a stock a bigger issue than this. On a longer time frame scale you have to just ensure that you are more often correct than wrong. That ensures making money. No need for any "sure shot" stuff. No need to have a "high hit rate" or that kind of nonsense. People twist trading the markets completely out of context many times.
There are enquiries with us whether the Nifty is making a small inverted head and shoulder pattern at the bottom? It does look like one. On the intra day charts it is seen at the end of a good decline. So it is at the correct position as well. No harm in following a breakout of this one if it happens. Of course that will be above 5600 levels only. By then we will get other breakout signals too and hence the pattern will not really matter- except for the target implications. It suggests a target up to around 5800. Now this should tie in rather well with the build up of call OI at the 5800 levels. It seems to us, though, that if you want to play the pattern for this month, then it is better to do so with a long5800 call rather than long futures. At least, that way your loss will be restricted to about Rs.8 or so.
Situation on the charts is a bit tricky. The daily charts have the NF as well as the Bank NF butting against resistance of the moving average bands on the daily charts. However, they are placed at support on the hourly charts. This is dicey and hard to decide which way it will move. Possibly news or some event would trigger it. IIP numbers are due out today. Will they do it? No idea. But 'get idea' by keeping track of it!!
L&T looks good on the charts with its ability to hold on to recent gains. Declines in market have not been able to dent its uptrend status in the short term. Yesterday we heard some news about possible divestment of the financial services wing for 1750 cr or so. Maybe that should help push the stock higher. Punj Lloyd is in Ban list in futures. Should be coming out soon. Those with funds should buy in cash and then switch it to futures later. Stock seems to have developed some legs. Going into ban could be an indication that interested people may have built some longs.
STRATEGY FOR THE DAY: As discussed above, no particular bias exists for now. So approach with caution. If it appears as though we shall have another dull, low volume day, then better to attempt some short options as a trade for the day. Trading NF or Bank NF seems to be a little more risky proposition right now owing to lack of movements. So keep stops small. No point in risking more when clarity is less. Oil marketing stocks are losing ground suddenly. Look for shorting opportunities. But upstream oil stocks are placed better. So could be a pair trade opportunity too?
Stocks to buy if market is strong:
BAJAJ ELECTRIC: Prices moved up well last session, exceeding the resistance of 38.2% retracement at 254 along the way. Having closed above it, prices have now triggered a fresh buy signal here. Momentum has received a fresh boost and volumes are tending to pick up. Expecting a further rally here, go long.
| Entry | Stop | Target |
| Buy above 257 | 2.5 points | 261 / 264 |
| Or dips near 254 | 2.5 points | 258 / 260 |
BGR ENERGY: This counter showed a nice upmove last session and despite market choppiness, managed to close with most of the gains intact. From the chart we note that prices are attempting to rally after a prior substantial fall from April 2011 highs. With yesterdays push, prices look set to move higher. Buy.
| Entry | Stop | Target |
| Buy above 493 | 5 points | 501 / 505-06 |
| Or dips to 488-487 | 5 points | 494 / 498 |
Stocks to sell if market is weak:
S KUMARS NATIONWIDE From the daily chart we infer that prices have been consistently finding it tough to exceed strong valuation resistance around the 70 levels and forming multiple tops around that region. Yesterday too prices turned down after hitting the same level once again. RSI has turned around from 60. Sell if lower.
| Entry | Stop | Target |
| Sell below 67 | 1 point | 65.5 / 64.5 |
| Rally near 68 | 1 point | 66 |
