MARKET OUTLOOK : Negative move on feebling sentiments…

Our letter of yesterday was rather specific about what traders needed to do in case of a decline. First, any pending longs were triggered out as the prices opened with a downside gap. Second, the market continued lower therefore short positions have got created. Third, the market closed weak so those short positions should probably be held. The situation was the same in the Bank Nifty and hence those that trade the Bank Nifty should also be trading short. Europe continued to trade weak and the Dollar is currently being pushed ahead by the TINA factor (standing for There Is No Alternative). The Dollar index traded up with a gap and that is a new one- we haven't seen the DX chart show a gap of this nature. Is it an indication of something new in the offing? That would not be palatable for sure. The INR reacted negatively and there seems to be more weakness brewing there, for sure. Those that trade currency futures should bet on the INR weakening further.

Put OI shedding was witnessed yesterday and once again lower puts are seeing some action. Lots of fresh shorting in calls so here the market seems to be hinting at more declines ahead. Like we have written in our letter earlier and also mentioned in our weekly letter, there is a good scope for IV rising once again. This can put the spoke on option sellers once again. It did seem like the IV would recede a bit when we closed for the week on Friday but the sharp gap up move in the Dollar index is giving us some shivers. Time count is running out on the S&P trends as well and if this were to fall (Europe is falling anyway), metals are softening, other sectors like Cap Goods are beginning to wilt too- all these don't really add up to a nice picture. Have a bearish outlook as we step into today. Let the market say otherwise before we decide to go long anything.

The Fed meeting today and tomorrow can create a lull perhaps. But if the trends are weak ahead of it, then there may be some additional nervousness. The G20 meet is next towards the end of the week. Greece default is also being talked about for this week, if you believe the bears. So this week is international news time. We had the first of the down gaps yesterday. It does seem likely that we may have more such in the days ahead. Not a time to leave adventurous long positions on. There doesn't really seem to be much of local news to counteract these global ones. Gold has hit down into support and is inching higher. It has not moved sharply but that doesn't mean anything either. If global equities begin to decline, it will be a signal for gold to move higher. Those of our readers who are into gold trading should use S&P decline as a trigger to buy gold. Other commodities don't really look worthwhile to trade for now. Stick to gold.

Attached chart is Nifty hourly with near term pitchfork drawn in. A decline below 5015 will break the lower channel and continue the decline that has set off from the recent high of Friday. The next halt in such a case appears to be only around 4950 levels. Bank Nifty would break a similar pitchfork if below 9490. Fresh shorts signaled there. Target on that would be around 9250.

Stocks are moving to specific beats. But in a market that has possibly run out of fizz for the uptrend, all buy news that you may receive from anywhere will have lesser scope to work out while sell recommendations may be aided by a declining trend. So be ready to move both ways for a while.
