Market Outlook: Indian markets are expected to open with a gap up note on the back better than expected constructive rally in the global markets. On the global space Wall St flat as US debt worries offsets earnings and Asian markets are following the same sentiments. On the overall basis we expect Indian market trade with support near 5555 if trend continues it can test even 5450 in the near term and any positive breakout would be expected only after 5650.

TECHNICAL OUTLOOK: Market rebounds from support.....

The main emotion after seeing yesterday's market was one of disappointment. For, it was so very near to staging an upside breakout- not only the Nifty but the Bank Nifty even more so. Many stocks had also set up nicely and the US markets had put in a super performance as well. But the market found it difficult, yet again, to go above the 5650 level. Recall that last week too we had some seller emerging at this level and an aggressive one at that. It is obvious that this seller hasn't finished yet and as long as this is the case, 5650 will remain a top for the moment. We don't have too many days left for the expiry. The total range of the index for July is still quite constricted at 258 points. Of this, we would wager that the top 50 points (i.e. the move to 5760) was almost an untraced area, thereby making the range only 200 points or so. This is much lower than the normal move of about 500 points that we get for a month. The index has tried its hand at moving higher and has not been successful. Will it therefore now try its hand at going lower? Seems quite possible. Hence if the weakness were to emerge, then do not hesitate or wait to ask too many questions. Just act.


The 1x2 angle line support that had been spoken about earlier has now been broken by a trended move. So this is something to pay attention to. But before you think that we are turning very bearish here, let us also hasten to add that the overhead resistance angle line is also crept nearer. A good move past the 5690 levels would achieve an upside breakout as well. What we don't like, ever, is prices moving near a breakout of an angle line support or resistance and then not doing so. We take that to be a sign of high weakness (or strength as the case may be). In the present case, we are still within shouting distance of the overhead resistance in both Nifty as well as the Bank Nifty. If the market wont do it now, then it has to be concluded that weakness certainly exists.


Yesterday's trading was marked by some strong addition in call OIs and shedding of Put OIs, resulting in a sharp fall in the PCR from 1.25 to 1.12. This is clearly indicative of a market that may want to go lower. So this is one more reason to be alert. Looking at the change in OI, there is a possibility that some bear spreads using calls have been constructed. This is still bearish outlook though. Lets be on the alert here. Crompton Greaves got killed in the last two sessions with some powered declines. Those who have been seeing the charts would have noticed a Head and Shoulder pattern top. This pattern gives us a target around 140 levels for the stock. More to go therefore. The decline is on high momentum but has hit oversold areas. We also have two long range bars. Markets rarely if ever have more declines after such fall without giving a pullback rally. This may take the stock back to around 200-210 at best. Such a rally should be used to exit from any investments too in that stock for now. If rallies don't even go till there realize that there is continued institutional selling. This is yet another stock that is 'gone' for a good length of time. Put it on your permanent short list until there is a change in the evidence. Look at GTL- it continues to go lower every day. We had originally given a target near 80-83. That has also been breached. We now revise our lower target to 65. Keep shorting all rallies and keep rolling forward until new evidence presents itself. Sun TV is in similar situation. It looks like a rally has just finished. Resume shorting.

STRATEGY FOR THE DAY: We may get a dull start to the day and not see too much action to the upside. As stated, the evidence is piling up on the negative side for today and hence we need to keep a bearish bias. But unless we see some good volumes, no point in getting aggressive. Stocks will continue to respond to the results flow and there is hardly any sector based action. The newly listed stocks continue to attract attention for both buys and sells. So that is where the trading action is. Tread in the mid cap region with some caution- although there does appear to be higher levels of interest here.

KIRLOSKAR BRO Prices were seen taking a dip last session after a sharp rise couple of sessions ago. Yesterdays fall has come down to hold support at a primary descending trendline and also 200-EMA.
