TECHNICAL OUTLOOK: Expectations for some declines…

Market Outlook: Indian markets are expected to open in positive note and expect to consolidate in the range of 5630-5750. On the global space US markets finished higher though off from their intra day highs after a pair of jobs news offered some hope that the employment picture was improving ahead of the critical government non-farm payroll report today; and Asian markets are trading higher; Nikkei, Hang Seng up. On the overall basis we expect Indian market trade with support near 5550 and any positive breakout would be expected only after 5750.

Results today: IndusInd Bank , HDFC

TECHNICAL OUTLOOK: Expectations for some declines…

The expectations for some declines were rendered completely aside with the strong advance that the market showed in the mid session. This upmove was sudden and with big volumes and it brushed aside the previous high of 5705 and then stayed put near it for a while. It then picked up once again with high volumes and sped to the next expected target zone near 5760. We had indicated in our earlier letters that the next target zone is also nearby in case the 5700 levels were broken. But the speed and ferocity with which the index reached those levels leaves one wondering if there are other plans around right now. News about govt bond auction and the consequent expectations that the interest rates may actually be slashed seem to have fed the rally. Will it continue? The market is certainly betting that it will. So we have to run with that. Volumes shot up, 5700/19000 on indices was breached, FII money continues to come in, small and mid cap indices were up. Only domestic funds continue to be sellers. We see an immediate resistance at 5780 levels. At 5767 the index is at 50% retracement of the fall from Nov 10 high. The 62% retracement is still a good way away at 5905.

PCR edged further higher to 1.34 and we saw some big additions in the Put contracts. When the PCR makes it past the 1.30 levels, the trend certainly becomes stronger. so until this number drops below 1.20, we should be retaining a bullish bias. The OI range has narrowed some to 5500P and 5800C as the big strikes. This is going to widen further for sure. We saw some rapid shedding in calls (obviously) and lets see if 5900 picks up today in OI (current OI is 43L shares).

Interesting that all asset classes across the globe are up and running. US markets, Commodities, Indian Equities etc are all up. The "risk-on" trade seems to be aggressive right now! Our observations of the past about this phenomenon is that it doesn't last too long. So, lets enjoy it while it lasts. Much of the rally in equities (particularly India) came from drop in commodity prices. But suddenly, this is no longer the case. So lets not get carried away with the talk.

Bank Nifty bearish view has not come thru and the rise in Nifty has forced some fresh bullishness into this counter. But it is still a bit guarded, so revise stops (if still holding) to 11390. If shorts created then 11500 is stop and reverse point.

STRATEGY FOR THE DAY: Open is bound to be better but the key factor is whether there is continuation. The mood is ebullient right now and that could occur. But lets not forget that we are trading near resistances of different kinds and other than FII inflow there isnt anything much to fuel the rise. But not to rain on the parade. Set lower stops (5615 for swing traders and 5690 for day traders) or buy puts to address the risk and retain a bullish bias. We must be with the market and not with our feelings. If stops are triggered, exit and sit by the sidelines for some fresh signals. No need to be in the market all the time.
