to be negatively biased

Market Outlook: Indian markets are expected to be negatively biased on the back of unconstructive sentiments on the global space. US markets plunged sharply, with the Dow down more than 500 points, in its worst one-day drop since December 2008. All three major averages tumbled into negative territory for the year as investors were rattled over an intensifying global economic slowdown and ahead of the widely-followed monthly unemployment report. The CBOE volatility index surged more than 35%. On the overall basis we are negatively biased on the global phenomena and expect Indian market to trade with a curious outlook.

TECHNICAL OUTLOOK: Overseas effect...

The US markets suffered a corornory yesterday as they plummetted 500 points- one of the worst since 2009. Fears of further debt crisis and recession have done the market in. As did the other European markets and doubtless there should be some follow thru today as well in Asia as well as Europe. We should have a wide gap open.A safe guage is about 2-3% lower so that should see index dip beneath 5200 levels.It looks like some smart traders here smelled the possibility as the 5100 put saw a big add and even the 5300 call was written!


The last low we had was around 5175 seen in June and Feb 2011. Can we see a triple low around these levels? We find a good Gann support around 5168 so that is one level to look for. Maybe it opens around this level and trades up? We also find a gap around 5140 levels on the weekly charts and that is another zone to look for a support.Key element would be whether FII action turns negative. Traders who are short are all waiting for the market to open to cover so if there is no fresh selling then the market should recover soon after open. But if we see no recovery after the first 15 minutes then conclude that fresh selling has emerged and that would mean further declines.


Problem is that the Dow and S&P charts show a fresh breakdown of recent support and that suggests we may see more declines from the US markets ahead? That will keep the lid on our markets? Perhaps it may lead to some realigment of the fund flow towards emerging markets (after all the global markets are quite flush with liquidity) and this may prompt some buying if there is a fall? Lots of possibilities here- so lets keep our eyes open.

STRATEGY FOR THE DAY: Gap open is a given. Check the trading pattern after 5-15 minutes. If there is a recovery above the highs after 15 minutes, then traders can go long with the morning lows as stops. But if there is no recovery above the 15 min high, then avoid fresh buying. If prices continue below the lows then traders can continue to short. Watch the 5150 levels as that is strong pivot area below. If that survives, be ready to buy. If not wait.

Stocks to buy if market is strong:

ABG SHIPYARD: Despite the market weakness in the last few sessions, this counter seems unnerved and has continued with its rally attempt. Rising against the market is an excellent bullish indicator. Prices are now set to move to new swing highs. Momentum is rising in sync with prices. Go long.

Stocks to sell if market is weak:

BGR ENERGY: This counter has got smashed out this week with prices plunging on heavy sell off. After a day of breather during session before last, they were back on a sell mode last session, wiping off the prior rising attempt. Momentum remains quite weak. Sell.

PRIME FOCUS Session before last saw a sharp turnaround from valuation support around 67-68 levels but prices failed to produce a follow thru last session and fell back near the support to end there. With selling persisting, chances are that the support could give way to more fall. Sell.
