TECHNICAL OUTLOOK: Time to churn...

Market Outlook: Indian Markets are expected to open with a flattish note and expect to consolidate in the range of 5620-5720. On the global space US markets were closed for the Independence Day holiday. World stocks hit a 4-1/2 week high on Monday as investors grew confident over global economic prospects after Greece avoided an early debt default and data pointed to a moderate slowdown in China's growth. Asian markets are trading flat. On the overall basis we expect Indian market trade with support near 5550 and any positive breakout would be expected only after 5750.

TECHNICAL OUTLOOK: Time to churn...

Monday turned out to be a low key day. Although we had a gap up open, the market could not capitalise on it and suffered a small reversal that only managed to close the morning gap. Prices pulled up towards the later part of the day and we are neither here nor there as far as day trade prospects are concerned. The stocks that featured in the gainers and losers list were quite varied and that makes reading of the day trend a bit difficult. Raising perspectives somewhat, we find that on the positive side we have yet another upside gap at the open (such gaps are always in the direction of the main trend), FII inflow continues and sentiments continue to survive despite dips. On the negative side, we have the NF trading into resistance areas, making a lower top on the intra day charts. So if we have NF trading below 5640 today then the first of the patterns for a minor decline would get set up. Hence revise stops on pending longs to 5640 levels. A bigger signal will be if the prices break 5615. So more conservative traders can revise their long stops to below this second level. Another way of approaching these levels is to use them as a buy-on-dip sites. Wouldn't really chance the arm at the first level but would certainly recommend doing so at the second level. But in case these support zones break then the next support is seen only in the gap area of 5575-55.

Bank Nifty has almost reached the resistance zone. Remember that yesterday's letter had indicated that there was some room above. But 11450-11500 is the zone where stronger resistance is visible. We are almost there. Now be careful with your Bank Nifty long positions. Exit at the first sign of trouble. We have seen 8 straight sessions of gains. Unlikely that we will have too many more. If reversals occur, one can consider shorts also.

Put additions continue and PCR has moved up to 1.25, leaving one a bit more comfortable with the upmove. Max OI continues at 5300 P but the premium there is a bit too small for that to be a short. Hence much of that position is long put and we found that a good portion of it was created last week. More action is occurring at the near the money strikes so it is really just day or end of day type trading action and not too much is to be read into it from a trend perspective for now.

Sugar stocks were up on rumors of some decontrol and look like they may continue further. They typically go one step forward and one back. But sugar stocks are one of the favorites of professional short sellers and hence we will have double effect of short cover as well as fresh buys to drive it. Idea should come under some cloud on news. Tata Comm on the other hand should continue higher now that they have been allowed to sell that land piece. Tea prices are said to be firming up and should see some positive impact on a couple of tea stocks listed in futures as well as others in cash group. Tyre shares should be in some limelight on some lightening of rubber prices.
