Market Outlook: Indian markets are expected to open in a negative topography following to the Asian cues. All eyes on Software major Infosys which is due today with its Q1FY12 numbers. The results, which come amidst economic uncertainties in Europe and margin pressures back home, will set the tone for the overall IT sector performance this quarter. So all this put together we will remain negatively biased for the day. On the global space Wall Street skids on global financial fears following to that Asian and other market slip post increase in Italy debt crisis. 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 5680.

TECHNICAL OUTLOOK: Downhill again…
Our market seems to have sensed the weakness in the overseas markets and had dropped in advance yesterday. We have been looking for some declines into the support zones- first near 5600 and then near 5540. The way the overseas markets have traded seems to suggest that the decline should carry on till the second level of support before some meaningful support emerges. 5540 is the 38% retracement of the rise from the June 20 low and is also near the gaps created at that price zone. If there is a gap down open and a quick slide into that area early in the day then one should be looking at the violation of the morning low as a signal that this market intends to go deeper. However, if it is going to attempt a rally, then is what the market will do and subsequently in the day, attempt to go higher. So, today is an important day for the market. In any case, the trend change date is set for the 15th so we may see some to and fro moves yet before another trend emerges.
Bank Nifty has moved down as had been expected. It did take a day or so more than what we wanted but the resumption of the uptrend was never on (as might have been in the case of the Nifty). 11075 is the minimum expectation and if that were to break- which it might well do- then we are looking at around 10700-800 levels as the next and more meaningful support for this index. We have been asking readers to short this and continue to advice the same. Hold your shorts for the lower targets and reduce your stops to even now or maybe even a bit lower than that.
Earnings season from today. Infosys kicks off as usual. But looking at the stock's behavior nothing major seems to be on the cards. There were some rumors floating around for a bonus announcement but prices dont seem to be revealing any such positive feelings. Jain Irrigation has rallied sharply and moved into resistance. One should consider shorts in this counter. It is under bearish grip. Adani Ent has similarly attempted a rally but this is coming off a sideways move. The stock has been out of action for a long while but been able to hang on to its levels. Perhaps the flexing of muscles yesterday is a hint of some good results to come? Look at this one with positive bias if the rise attempt continues into today. NSE has announced addition of 8 more stocks to the FnO list. A couple of them are duds- who trades in JSW Energy and TTK Prestige and VIP etc? Sometimes you really wonder at the logic of NSE to include names into the list! Look at things like MRF and Concor and Asian Paints etc in the current list- what are they doing there except wasting space?
PCR has dropped to 1.20 and the IV has moved up a tad to 18.5%. This betrays a slight nervousness as the market shifts to a slight downtrend. There may be apprehensions that this could snowball further? Continued addition of 5400 Puts is suggestive of someone taking up a bearish positions in options. Use intra day rallies to initiate short calls at higher strikes for day trades in options.
STRATEGY FOR THE DAY: Weak open is on the cards and hence one could look for some downward traction. If dip towards the Nifty level mentioned in the letter occurs in the earlier part of the day can be considered as a buying opportunity for the day traders. The overseas market conditions being tentative one can expect the market to remain rangebound. In these times one can resort to the Day Trading Table and take some trades. With result season around the corner one can expect some stock specific moves.
