OUTLOOK: The market turns around....

Brisk short covering coupled with some value buying at what were deemed as cheap levels. The good part was the beginning of the day itself was with an upside gap and then when the index went above the weekly pivot of 4850- which is what we were looking for- and then sustained over it, the writing was clear on the wall. The market would go up further. Since it was coming out of a deep hole, it is more than likely that the rally would last about 2-3 sessions. Hence there should have been no big hurry to book out of gains. Even if one did so with day trading positions, a little something should be left over to take advantage of a trend mode. Plan your trade quantities this way, particularly when we are trading at significant turning points or are coming off them.

We had discussed the sharp increase in the IV in the letter of yesterday and had opined how this was owing to demand for OTM puts rather than any increase in fear. Quite in line with this the IV dropped sharply today right at the beginning and slid to 26% by the end of the day (after having reached 33% on Friday). Option premiums which were juicy at the end of Friday suddenly looked a bit pale as they were hit by shrinking IV as well as rising prices. Looking at the action in the Options OI shows us a picture of a market making room for itself to the upside. ATM and slightly above calls were shed while slightly below the money puts were hit with some fresh shorts. Addition of OI in higher calls could be the creation of some shorts as well as some spread positions. But it keeps the PCR in check and should help to continue the trend upward.

Almost all the stocks moved higher and that was not surprising considering that all were oversold and a bounce was imminent. Broad breadth visible yesterday should probably continue into today and hence stock picking may not be such a difficulty. Question is whether it can last beyond the initial couple of days. It may be simpler to take some action thru the options where some hedged strategies could be put together. Readers should check out the stock option areas as well as this is getting quite active too.

Bank Nifty has set off on a rally as well. No significant resistance till it moves to around 9450 levels. If above that, then the strong resistance is around 9570 levels. For now, these two can be considered as the important resistance level that the stock will have to handle. Nifty future, similarly, has its earliest resistance around the 5050 levels while a continuation could see it challenge the important gap areas above 5225.

STRATEGY FOR THE DAY: Market seems to have set off on a rally and should continue further. Nifty as well as Bank nifty both look good to trade from the long side yet. One can protect with puts or if view is limited bullish then one can write the higher call options also. For writing, wait to see when the movement loses forward momentum. This way one can control the risks some. Similar action can be considered in stock futures as well. All sectors may continue to take part in the advance and hence stock picking should not be a big problem.

Stocks to sell if market is weak:

MARIC: Marico had been steady so far but on Monday it opened gap down and traded down the entire day, despite the broader market rallying. It has closed precariously at support levels in the form of moving average bands and an ascending trendline. Any follow through of the action will send the prices lower. Consider going SHORT below last close.
