Market Outlook: Indian markets are expected to open in a negative terrain on the back of unconstructive sentiments on the global space. On the global space Wall Street declines on uncertainty over debt talks US markets ended sharply lower, following a Fed report that said pace of economic growth moderated in many districts and amid growing uncertainty over the ongoing debt talks in Washington and Asian markets follows the heat trading in mixed trend. On the overall basis we are cautious on Indian market trade with support seen near 5425 broken can even test 5250 in the near term and any positive breakout would be expected only after 5550.

TECHNICAL OUTLOOK: Bears take charge
Although the 5500 was broken early enough in the day- and that too with a down gap- there was sufficient defending of that level particularly by the option traders. It may be recalled that we had substantial positions at this strike level and hence some fight was expected to be put up by the sellers of puts at these levels. Looking at the way the market traded, it does appear that the larger players themselves were involved with this strike and that could be the main reason why there was so much resilience at this level. Market finished thereabouts and the August future is trading at 5498 as well, so the problems have certainly not gone away. The Aug future debuts with a smaller OI at 1.9 cr shares and this is lower than the 3 month average. Bank Nifty also starts with a lower OI at 7.5 L shares. Even though the stock rollover was reported to be smooth, it appears that the index rolls have been lesser in quantum this month.
The next series also shows 5400P (49L) and 5700C (51L) as the highest OI strikes. This is a small range and with the index trading near the lower end of the range, we are likely to see some downward pressure on the index. Another point to note is that the range for July was a smaller one- only 287 points (and that too because we had some bit of extension yesterday!). Typical range for the Nifty per month is around 400 points or more. We have found that when we have a small range move in a month, the next month usually shows a decent range, sometimes a big range. So lets be ready for a larger range month in August. This means more volatile month with prices moving on both sides. The pivot for the month is 5615 and we are beginning well below this. So initial range expansion may be to the downside. Be alert for that. We shall inform on the key trend change dates for this month in Monday's letter.
Attached chart today is the Nifty future daily. It can be noted that the prices have now broken below the band clearly and the RSI is also slipping (current 44). So we have to continue with a bearish bias. The resistances thru these bands is placed at 5540 and 5620. These are also resistance zones based on other methods as well. Using some Gann angle work we find that 5450 is the nearest support level for today. So check how the market handles itself around those levels if reached. "Willingness to respect that support would be good news. Easy slicing of this would be bad news.
The whole world is worried about the US debt ceiling matter. The D-date for this is Aug 2. While furious back door stuff may be going on in the US to stave off any problems, the world reads newspaper headlines and those are always sensationalistic. This will keep the lid on any rallies as worries will be hyped up by the press and networks. So keep all bullish enthusiasms in control for a day more and lets see what news emerges over the weekend. For the record, the last time USA was into a 'technical default' was back in 1979. Also, thru history, there have been some 78 occasions when the US debt ceiling has been raised by the Congress. Of course at no point of time was the deficit as large as this one. So history here may not be the exact guide!
FMCG is still the top sector leading the index today. The response to results in two leaders were quite different yesterday. While HLL faltered, ITC seems to have tapped into support near 200 and rallied nicely. One can continue to look upon the latter with a bullish eye while HLL may drift lower. We had mentioned about HDFC Bank a week or so ago- the bearish signal below 496 is now flashed. Use current and rallies in this stock to short. Reliance doesn't look too healthy as it attacks the support levels once again. May be worthwhile looking at bearish scenarios in this name. Try options- they are liquid.
STRATEGY FOR THE DAY: The trend has weakened and looks poised for more declines as the close is weak. With rolls over and no major names in results scheduled for today, we could have the focus shift towards US where lots of heat is being generated with the debt cieling matter. This can bring some more softness to the market in case there is no ready compromises reached. Stocks are moving with news and results and players in the B group should keep a close track of the newsflow.
