TECHNICAL OUTLOOK: On the edge movements.

No respite from the consolidation phase yet. In our letter of yesterday we had raised the possibility of the market sliding a bit from the current levels because of the way the prices had moved and the options had traded. Yesterday we did see some bit of a decline, the intra day low broke but still the market refused to trend down. AS we have stated earlier, most traders are playing the bearish game thru short calls and hence break of day's low does not create any pressure from long holders of Nifty futures. This is a changed scenario now and hence demands different approach. This means that breakout trades are not going to work very well unless there is some big time buy or sell action that is behind it. Trend following systems may have reduced efficiency at such times. But that does not mean that one should give up on breakouts or trend following systems. It is just one of those times when trying to chase a trend ends in slamming into a wall. The EU has come to an agreement on Greece and that is one crisis shelved for the moment. The US has to deal with the raising of the debt ceiling. Much may depend on this and it could also produce a gap open today. However, it is more important to see if there is a follow thru price action post that gap. Only in that case we can move in that direction. If there is none or little follow thru then the ranging action will continue.


Sideways action is making a mockery of all trend defining tools and hence we have to ease off a bit and wait to see the action. Alternatively, one should raise perspective to a higher time frame and check out the trends. We have been covering the support aspect on the hourly charts. So today we will raise our view to the daily chart. Here we find that the index is about to run into a good support offered by the 2x1 angle line from the recent bottom coming thru around 5530 today. In case this is broken then we go short this market. However, if the market jumps up and holds those initial gains then we look to go long too, using the same 5530 level as the stop. We can then revise it later if the move upward occurs.

Bank Nifty is in a different groove. Compared to the NF, it has fallen more and the next support on the daily charts is seen only around 10860. This still leaves room to the downside in case of weakness. Hence look to trade this short in case the market remains or turns weak. If the market is up, then of course there isn't any particular signal and it may just move with the rest of the market.

Hero Honda beat street estimates with its results yesterday and after some reckoning buyers appear to have emerged in the counter. Since it bounced off rather nicely from supports near 1740, there could be some more upward action in the counter today. Overall trend appears to be weak but current rally could be played by day and 1-2 day traders with a long position. Exide has ended a 7 month rally with a big downside gap. This always turns the trend down. Use intra day rallies to short. Exit from investments in this counter if any. This stock can be expected to remain in a reaction mode for several weeks now. The gap area will act as future rally resistance points. Orchid continues to seek lower levels. We had warned of stronger declines in case of price weakness. This seems to be in progress. Don't catch a falling knife here. More declines are to be expected. Traders can play short at current and on rallies as well. Rally in MRF seems to be complete. Can consider taking profits in this counter as well.

STRATEGY FOR THE DAY: Some upside gap possibilities are seen owing to overseas market feeds. Events of global nature however are difficult to forecast in terms of their local effects. So watch for follow thru action and only then act. Better to wait for about 15 minutes and then mark the price highs and lows there and see if anything is being exceeded. Go in the direction of the break. Again, stocks are mixed and following news. It is seeming like most of the good results are already anticipated by the market and hence only something out of the ordinary is moving prices. So be aware of what is market expectations so that you are not taken by surprise by market action.

Stocks to buy if market is strong:

GUJURAT GAS: 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. RSI is still within bullish zones and near 60. Chances are that both could bounce back from this breather. Buy if higher.

Stocks to sell if market is weak:

DENA BANK : Banks failed to live up to the expectations and have resulted in a capitulation prior to the RBI Meet. With volumes leading the decline one can expect the downtrend to continue. The momentum is also showing weakness inviting us to go short in this counter.
