TECHNICAL OUTLOOK: Week begins with bearish bias…

Like Friday's letter had mentioned, we continue to look for some pullbacks. Even though the market tried on Friday morning to go higher it gave up soon thereafter and sought lower levels by the end of the day. The overseas markets have remained subdued into the weekend and there is nothing much to cheer as we step into the new week. On the daily charts, the price rise on the NF has brought it to the level of the moving average bands and then halted there. So, going by that evidence we should be seeing some more declines in this week. Now the problem is that since the prices had risen in almost a vertical fashion thru the last 5-6 sessions, they have not created any interim support zones, even on intra day charts. hence there is no support really until we go back to the earlier support (the rising Gann trendline from the May10 low). this is around 5420 levels only. So understand that the reaction could continue towards that target and the trend may still remain unchanged. We mention this fact because people generally confuse between directional moves and trends. The last week's rise, though powerful, has NOT changed the trend status. It has only reversed the directionality. It is easy to reverse directionality and this happens frequently. The expected decline in this week would be one more reversal of directionality. What it will also be a potential resumption of the main trend (which is still downward). To that extent we do have to remain watchful about the whole situation.

But that is about the macro part of the trend analysis. Coming to the more immediate situations, we look at the situation in the intra day charts. Here we find that a decline could meet with supports around 5470 levels first, where we find the 1x1 up angle as well as the 50% retracement of the recent rise and a Square of 9 price line. so that should all combine and be good enough to halt the decline initially. If this is lost, then we can reassess. It seems more like we could consolidate between 5600 high reached last week and this first support zone around 5470. So we suggest creating some range strategies between these levels and it is best traded by some short option strategies like a short strangle. May be a bit difficult to trade using Futures so be a bit circumspect there. Would pay to lock in smaller profit ranges. Also look at the ranges offered by the Table this week. We think that range will play out rather well. Many people are aware of the price pivot method (because it is widely available). Many versions are available and we use, what we feel is a better extension of the popular method. Problem is most traders don't value this pivot method, possibly because it is so freely available? Our advise to readers is not to knock it, for, we have found it to be very effective in denoting supports and resistances for the day. We often refer our readers to use the levels given in our Table on days when we feel the market will range. It can also be used on other days as well (not to conclude that it can be used only on ranging days). We carry an extended list of stocks on our website for our registered users and we exhort our readers to use it.

Bank Nifty is in a similar situation as the NF. 10650 is the first support for the day and moves below that would carry it towards 10580 or even further this week. Almost all the bank sector futures are similarly aligned with the Bank nifty. The ones that seem set to outperform on the downside (i.e. go down faster than the index) are Idbi, Axis and Uco. Check these out for shorting candidates. Bucking the trend could be IndusInd. Pair trade chaps can look to this.

STRATEGY FOR THE DAY: Bias is towards the bearish side although we may not see any sharp moves. It may be more like some ranging action with a downward bias. Possibility of action shifting towards the small and mid cap stocks as they have fared well in the last week. But double check on this before diving in. It is a dangerous territory! No sector bias for the bullish side is visible so gainers today could be very stock specific. As directed earlier, take recourse to the Table levels to get some buy or sell points today for major stocks. if volumes are very low, then better to move to the sidelines.
