OUTLOOK: Positive vibes emerge....
Yesterday's trading volatility would have proved a bit difficult for traders to handle. Initial weakness would have scared the weak kneed bulls. But a more detached view would have revealed that the price damage was rather minimal. The fall below Monday lows in the first hour smacked more of stop running. Matters were sedate until Europe began trading better on news. Then it was a scramble into the close as the shorts backed out and covered and once again the index posted a nice close above 5000 levels. That makes 4 in a row. Clearly indicative of a recovering market. Our view for the rise into the next trend change date set in the middle of the month or later seems to be panning out so far. We have been long for the past few days and now that position should be in the money. The target ahead is around 5115/5135/5170. We continue to hold long for those. Fresh longs should be looked for during intra day dips.
Bank Nifty also created a scare in the morning. To the point that it actually flashed a sell but then made amends by quickly making an about face. This was even earlier than the Nifty. So value buying certainly seems to have emerged in this sector. It was evident from the fact most of the Bank leaders were up and running. The finish is tantalizing. It is almost in with a buy signal on the hourly charts. Some positive follow thru today would clinch it for the index. And also for the stocks. Hence continue to pay attention to this sector and index today as well. Positive moves here will have positive fall out on the Nifty as well. We add Bank Nifty long today if the rise sustains above 9650.
Index is up, PCR is moving to 1.39 but for some continued unfathomable reason the IV is still holding up. Is it manipulation? Is it something that the market fears but we don't know about? These are intriguing questions for the moment now. How is this to be actioned? For starters, we have advised shorting strangles in expectation of volatility peeling off. Since that has not yet happened, we suggest reducing the quantity of the trade (in case any reader has a big position). We can still continue with the strategy but until there is clarity about the IV, lets stay a bit light. Bullish positions using options could be one way to go if the rise were to continue.
DLF suddenly losing its footing in such a swift manner (206 to 196 in a good day) shows that fresh troubles may be brewing. Short higher calls. HDIL and IB Real too look jaded so the sector continues to remain under pall. Looks like the short covering rally may be over for now. We really don't like the looks of Sun Pharma on the charts. Maybe a good pair trade here with Lupin (long)? Check it out. The onward move in Telecom also seems to have stalled, including in Idea. So looks like the market is about to shift gears in terms of sector preferences. Cement could be one of the new ones. Look for Reliance to meet with some supplies around 840 levels or so. If long, can consider some profit booking there.
STRATEGY FOR THE DAY: We have steadfastly stuck to a bullish view, asking readers to buy into dips. That is looking like it will pay off. Maybe we will have some hiccups along the way but we advice continuing to remain steadfast with the bullish view. Bank nifty can be added to the mix now as a fresh long position. Look for sector rotation to emerge so dont chase the recent gainers like Auto etc. Look for trades in stock options area as this is getting more active and day trades are also becoming possible for those that are nimble. Not to mention that these is also cheaper to trade compared to futures.
Stocks to sell if market is weak:
KPIT CUMMINS This stock has been in a consolidation phase since few trading sessions but has not been able to breach the horizontal resistance line on the daily charts.
