OUTLOOK: Overseas market reactions will continue to dominate

Market Outlook: Indian markets are expected to be on the positive track on the back of hope of stable sentiments on the global space. US, Europe mkts recover, Dow jumps;. Gold hit a record high on Tuesday in its biggest three-day rally since the depths of the financial crisis in 2008, as investor fears over the threat to the global economy from the European and US debt crises hit assets seen as higher risk. On the overall basis we are negatively biased on the global phenomena and expect Indian markets to trade with a watchful outlook with support near 4900.

US Update: The US markets saw their biggest one-day gain since May 2010 after a wild market session as investors snapped up beaten-down stocks and following a Fed statement to keep interest rates near zero for at least two more years. The Federal Reserve pledged for the first time to keep its benchmark interest rate at a record low at least through mid-2013 to revive a recovery that's "considerably slower" than anticipated.

OUTLOOK: Overseas market reactions will continue to dominate

Another day another gap. The market then struggled to work its way out of the new hole it dug for itself. Once again the action initially was good, but it got slammed down once again before recovering slightly. Is that enough? Not really. But at the time of writing this report the Dow is up. Not unexpected, that. After all, traders there too would cut before the FOMC event. Some expectations for a QE3 comment is expected. But even if it is not there, market should rally some. After all, the VIX there hit about 45-48, the band of reversal. So, like we said, nothing unexpected. If the market closes in the US flat to better, we will have a better day here.


The gap took us down to another support zone near 4965. Swift recovery and no challenge of that low shows bulls in charge during the day. We want to see more action from them today before we get ready to lend them some money. The situation is too fluid for us to think any other way. In yesterday's letter the situation for today was described as a buy (gap down and then up from the start). We didn't get a top close so we could not turn aggressive (this was the second situation described).


While price wise we may have hit some lower levels that are near support, the upside action is still limited. This is borne out also by the position of the RSI on the hourly chart. Here it is not even able to get above the 40-45 levels so far. That is the minimum that must happen. So lets look for that to happen today. Then the other event we want to see is an ability to hold the higher levels attained during the day. Will that get us out of trouble? Not yet. There is no divergence on the daily charts (we now have them up to the hourly chart) and this will require a rally and then another dip with a close beneath 5095. It need not make a new bottom below what we have seen today though it could happen too. All these may take a few days so don't get carried away by any upsides that you may get right now. It has a max limit till around 5250 or so.


Puts got added from the 4600-4400 levels (about 60L). We reckon that much of these are short puts because we cant reconcile with buying OTM puts at IVs reaching up to 40% in a market that has already declined 900 points from the swing high at 5760. Not that it is not possible. We are just saying that it is not probable. If that is so then we have a bottom formation at hand. We will follow up this thinking in letters ahead.

STRATEGY FOR THE DAY: Bias is for some positive action. Overseas market reactions will continue to dominate the proceedings and hence there may be spurts intra day when Europe opens in the afternoon. Be aware of this. Stocks are in various process of bottoming so we will have to take a call on them on a dynamic basis rather than go to the market with predecided picks. If market stabilizes then local news will once agian begin driving individual stocks. So this is another aspect to keep track of.
