Vertical Moves(sustainable?)


Dear Investors

On Wednesday Indian Cricket team and Indian Stock markets
Continued their ‘Winning spree’ Markets
Continued to rise for 7th day in a row. There seems to
Be no stopping in buying, by traders, FIIs and Investors.
Till Tuesday only large caps were moving but now 
   mid caps and Small caps too joined the party.
The rally was broad base with good advancing stocks and
Very few declining. It was FII/DII and retailers too went on
Pouring money in stocks which were beaten in last few weeks
There was a sector rotation from IT to Banking to Cap Goods
To Infra and today Cement helped in ‘Cementing the gains’
of last seven trading sessions


Nifty opened with a small gain at 5755 and went on to cross
5800 level to close nearer at 5787

Levels of the Day:

Nifty: Open: 5755, High: 5803, Low: 5753, Close: 5787

Sx. Open: 19178, High: 19357, Low; 19178, Close: 19290

VXI(Volatility Index) Op:21.22,Hi:22.14,Low;19.95,Cl:22.04

What Next

Heavy FII buying, High volumes (due to expiry) and good
Advance- decline ratio (5:1) indicate that this rally will
Continue in near term.
It looks that we are heading for a ‘climax of the rally’ before
An expected correction
It has been a ‘Vertical Rise’ since we tested the low
At 5177, a gain of 650 points, in last seven days. One must
Remember that such ‘Steep’ rise may not be sustainable
And will correct some time , only thing is you can not time
The change.
All falls can be used to buy while up moves can be partially
Booked for some profits

Traders and investors should exercise caution as we
 reach the important level, 5880


Today we may see extreme volatile trades.
It will be a real test of the market as we go for result season
In April.

Levels to Watch

UPWARD: 5809/5820/5860(19372, 19403, 19555)

DOWNWARD: 5749/5693/5629(19178, 18770, 18635)

Technical View
Pivot for Nifty: 5781(19275)
R1 (First resistance) is @ 5809(19372)
R2 (Second resistance) is @ 5831(19454)
R3(Third resistance) is @ 5859(19551)

Significance

When market participants start expecting
A correction, resistance levels will be more important
Than support levels, careful watch of R1/R2/R3 and
Pivot, will help traders and investors to avoid excess long
Positions and proper profit booking.

 Traders can use Pivot as re entry point and can   use
 R2 and R3 as Important profit booking levels in short term

S1 (First support) is @ 5759(19193)
S2 (Second support) is @ 5731(19096)
S3 (Third support) is @ 5709(19014)

Significance

All long traders can watch support levels to place
Stop loss for carry forward trades.
Once the correction sets in support levels will help
To revert the trades.
S3(5709) will be a significant level to exit from long
 trades and wait on side lines till there are definite
signs of getting back to Pivotal level (5781)

VXI(Volatility Index)

Pivot : 21.34
R1:22.80/R2:23.58/R3:24.99
S1:20/S2:19,/S3:18 (rounded)
As expected there will be rise in volatility on
The day of expiry, so keep strict stop losses
And avoid large positions to the end if the
Trading session, the level of VXI at the end of
The trading sessions and tomorrow will be
Most significant as far as next trend is concerned

DMAs(Day moving average)

5 DMA @5616 (18687)
10 DMA @ 5519(18365)

50DMA @ 5495(18331)

100DMA @ 5749(19137)

200DMA@ 5693(18967)


200Day Exp. Ave.@5589 (18635)

Significance

Indices are above all the moving averages, indicative
Of a strong up move in near term

Watch for 100DMA (5749) and 100 Day Exp (5629)
Any fall below these levels will indicate a change in
Trend of the market

Close below 200DMA (5693) and 100Day Exp (5629)
Will be significant, will indicate a steep correction in
 Coming days

COMMENTS

The on going strong rally is based on certain factors

Attractive valuations
Strong global markets
FII buying and increased liquidity
Cooling of crude
Stable geopolitical conditions in Middle East
Some policy action by Indian Government
Clearing of Cairn Vedanta

All these things have taken out fear from the minds of
FII and Indian Institutions leading to a strong buying
In different sectors.

Next progress of the stock market should be seen in
The light of events to come

Expiry rolls over for April series
Result season
Disinvestment program of Indian Government
Results of 5 State elections
Inflation
RBI stands on interest rates and Growth
Global conditions
Global Stock market correction
Crude oil prices
And Rise of any new scam

The balancing of all these factors will decide the fate
Of Indian Stock markets in coming days.

The strong of ongoing rally has not allowed retail
Investors to participate in the market
.
As usual retails get in at the top of the band and
Stuck their till correction sets in.

Long term investors can use all the falls (only and not rise)
To enter the markets and try to book profits at appropriate
 Levels

Stock specific

As today is Expiry day I am avoiding to give
Stock specific buy calls,
Keep strict stop loss for all your positions
Either short or long
It is advised not to go short till a trend emerges

ON TOP but AT the EDGE



Dear Investors

Sixth session of relentless rally in stock market has kept
Investors, traders and analysts puzzled, Market has been in
A ‘bottom up’ position, 5200 has gone, 5300, 5400, 5500 5600
Too have gone we are at 5700 and still no signs of ‘fatigue’.
Markets  have gone past caution, exuberance and euphoria,
It’s in a stunning speed and swing. Nifty opened flat and lost
Few points in the opening trade, but the ‘charged bulls’ never
 Let it go down during the day. Nifty wiped out 5700 with an
Ease to go ahead and test important resistance of 5760.
FII buying and short covering helped Nifty to reach the top
Of 5770.In closing hours, profit booking brought it down to
5736. Still well above 5700.

Today’s levels

Nifty: Open: 5686, High: 5680 Close: 5736
Sensex: Open: 18949, High: 19226, Low: 18944, Close: 19120
Volatility index: Open: 21.2, High: 22.19, Low: 20.37, Close: 21.2

What Next
Traders and speculators should keep strict stop loss for all the
Trades at the nearest resistance and support levels

As we are approaching expiry, there will be lot of volatility
During the day trades
.It is better to avoid long term investments till we get a
 Substantial correction while we are heading for the 'TOP'
One must keep in mind that it may be at an 'EDGE' of a fall
Nifty may correct 100 to 150 points to take support at
5595/5565 levels
The upside is at the most up to 5790/5818,
It is advisable to avoid  to buying at higher levels , say
Beyond 5790, all trades should be with stops.
Watch the levels of

UPWARD: 5790/5801/5818
DOWNWARD: 5720/5688/5630

Technical View
Pivot For Nifty: 5728

R1 (First resistance) @ 5777(19249)
R2 (Second resistance) @ 5818(19378)
R3 (Third resistance) @ 5867(19531)

Significance
R1 (5777) is  the top on Tuesday (5770), indicating
That there is lot of selling pressure in the zone of
5780/5801
Close above R2(5818) will take Nifty to a new territory
Of 5790/5880/5900
All long trades should be partially booked at 5800
and carried with a stop at 5691(200DMA)
No shorts till we are below R1(5777)



S1(First Support) @5687(18967)
S2(Second support) @ 5638(18814)
S3(Third support) @ 5597(18658)

Significance

S1 (5687) is placed nearer to the 200DMA @ 5691,
Signifying its importance, any close below this will
Be a first indication of setting in a correction, so
All the long trades should have a stop at and below
It at S2 (5638).
Any fall below S3 (5597) will indicate, termination of the
Rally, because it is placed nearer to the 200Day Exp.
Average at 5587
So traders and speculators should watch these levels
Than going with resistance levels


VXI (Volatility Index)

Pivot @21.25
R1:22.13/R2:23.07/R3:23.95
S1:20/S2:19/S3:18(Rounded)

Significance

Movements of VXI indicate that we are in a
Rising volatility period, VXI beyond 22/23
Is not good for an up trend, traders should be carefull
During the day and guard all the positions with stop
Loss. Fresh buying is not recommended.

DMAs(Day Moving Average)

5DMA@ 5551(18460)
20DMA @ 5491(18309)
40DMA @ 5450(18181)

50DMA @ 5493(18326)
200DMA @ 5691(18958)

50 Day Exponential @ 5553(18523)
200 Day Exponential @5587(18632)

Significance
Market is above all the short/long term moving averages,
Indicative of a bullish ness in the market.
As we proceed towards new levels one has to keep
Watch at 200Day simple and Exponential averages
For reversal of the trend. As long as the indices are
Above those, one can keep long positions on, with a
Stop loss at 200Day simple average @ 5691 as a
First signal of change in the short term trend
No fresh long term buying is advisable at higher
Levels.








COMMENTS



Wait and watch is the mantra, Trading in such a situation is
Risky, it has become a game of 20:20, no body knows the
Winner on that day. Those with weak heart should not trade
We are approaching a zone of ‘High Risk’.’ Low reward’
Nifty is entering in an area of multiple resistances.
One has to take in to consideration few points
Nifty has moved around 600 points from low and Sensex 1300
Points from the low, all this rise was without any correction.
The rally is not broad base, Mid cap stocks have not moved
During this rally
This rally is at an year end and expiry period
Volumes in F&O were high s compared to cash indicating
That there was hardly any delivery base buying
FIIs were net buyers but DII buying was not significant
Retail participation have feeling of ‘Left out’ of the rally
,It was  with an unnatural speed
This rally was on the backdrop of number of ‘Nigetive
Events ‘ and ‘News’ in and around us

All this creates doubts about sustainability of this rally.
Still one has to go by the trend, no contrarian actions
Please.
Exersise caution at higher levels and try to book part
Profits at every rise.

CAUTION , EXUBERANCE and EUPHORIA(Choice is yours)



Dear Investors

After two months ups and downs on Monday markets
Reached the psychological level of 5700 , It was fifth
Consecutive day of up move in Indian stock market.
Nifty after touching 5709 closed at 5687, sensex too
Had crossed the 19000 mark to close at 18943
Monday’s Levels

Nifty: Open: 5654, High: 5709, Low: 5643, Close: 5687

Sensex: Open: 18799, High: 19024, Low: 18799, Close; 18943

VXI (Volatility Index) Open:20.4/High:21.8/Low:20.2/Close:21.0

What Next

 Indices have tested the important upper levels during the trade
To close at 200DMAs(Nifty:5688/Sx.18941) . This is a crucial
Period for markets. Last five trading sessions, especially last
Two sessions, have been too fast to ‘Digest’ it, hard to say that
We will move forward with the same ‘Zing’ without ‘Digesting’
The gains of Friday. Market may consolidate at lower levels of
5588(200 Day exponential Average) 5688(200 Day Simple
Moving average). Range or even at lower levels. The rise
In indices during last few sessions is, truly, not on sound
Fundamentals and looks like to be a 20-20 type of situation.
Now is the real Indo-Pak battle (Bulls and Bear).
One has to be very careful in creating fresh positions before
Markets test some lower support levels.
There are number of sensitive areas beyond 200DMA and they
May create selling pressure, Keep watch on 5699/5720/5760
And 5798 levels, these may prove to be supply zones for
Nifty .All positions after 200DMA should be with strict stop loss
Though there are chances that markets, after moving out of a
‘Solid consolidation, will try to scale higher levels of 5819/5880
It will face number of hurdles during the process.

Keep watch on

UPWARD: 5699/5720/5760
DOWNWARD: 5620/5588/5515

Technical View
Pivot For Nifty: 5679

R1 (First resistance) is @5716(19045)
R2 (Second resistance) is @ 5745(19147)
R3 (Third resistance) is @ 5782 (19270)

Significance

All the resistance levels are within the range of
5700/5800, indicating confluences of resistances
At every small rise, this indicates that it will be
Difficult for markets to go beyond 5790 levels in near
 Future.

Long traders are advised not to create fresh long at
Higher levels till Nifty takes out 5790 on closing basis

S1 (First support) is @5650(18820)
S2 (Second support) is @ 5613(18697)
S3 (Third support) is @ 5584(18595)

Significance

S3 (5584) Is placed nearer to the 200 Day exp. Average
Which should be a strong support for the going up move
Break below it will signify a change in undertone from
Up to down.


VXI (Volatility Index)

Pivot @ 21.04

Significance

As long as volatility Index remains in a range of 18-22
Nifty will be moving in an up trend any increased volatility
Beyond 22, towards 24-28 range should be looked up on
As change in trend

DMAs(Day Moving Average)

5DMA @5487(18239)
20DMA @ 5471(18238)
40DMA@ 5445(18167)

50DMA @ 5495(18331)
200DMA @5688(18950)

50 Day Exp. Ave. @ 5548(18498)
200 Day Exp. Ave. @5587(18630)

Significance

We are at the level of 200DMA, where there is likely to be
Lot of supply leading to fall in Nifty levels, Close beyond 200
DMA WITH VOLUMES FOR NEXT FEW SESSIONS, will be
Needed to confirm the continuation of ongoing up trend
And or beginning of a ‘Bull Market’.

All higher levels should be used to book part profits and
Dips to the levels of 5588 can be used to buy.
Any close below 5588/5515/5480 should act as a
Warning bell for long traders.


COMMENTS

The present rally was an effect of a long consolidation
 In a tight range, traders should look all the dips as an
Opportunity to buy, with a target of 5790, beyond which one
Should be watching the speed of the rally, It may not 
Sustainable for longer period and markets may drift back
To the support at 5588 level, if lower levels are achieved
In the course of a fall, traders should wind all the longs and
Wait for the sure trend to emerge.
The rise in markets during last few sessions looks
Like to be a technical one, than fundamental, because there
Is no change in fundamentals of India during last few days, so it
Should be taken with caution, no Euphoria and no Exuberant’
Positioning.

WEEK-END BONANZA




NEXT WEEK  


                                    
Dear Investors
Indian stock markets rallied on Friday to intercept
 6 to 8 weeks ranged trading .It was a ‘Buffet Bonanza’
.Both Nifty and Sensex ended the week above 200Day
 Exponential  moving average

Nifty gained 132 points to end above an important resistance
Level of 5600 at 5654 and sensex after gaining 465 points
Ended above 18800 at 18815
There was across the sector buying , specifically IT, Banking
And Cap good sector saw great amount of short covering
And long built up.
Volumes were good and FII bought 1446 corer Rs worth stocks
On Friday.

Levels on Friday:

Nifty: Open: 5588/High: 5667/ Low: 5560
Sensex: Open: 18480/ HGH: 18858/Low: 18480/Close: 18815

What Next
Though market on Friday has broken out of a range and gone
Beyond resistance levels of 5600 and 18000 with good volume
Traders and investors should not be either Euphoric (Long Traders)
Or Get in to Panic (Short traders). There were certain positive
Developments during the week which boosted the sentiment.
Though according to analysts all bad news is in the valuations, one
Should take this ‘Sudden Spurt’ with caution because

There is no fundamental change in last few days so as to
Make markets bullish
It was some news and comments which created a sense of
Bullishness  leading to a frenzy in stock markets….

Comments by finance ministry sources regarding less
 Borrowing Target by Government

Banks ending March with less mark to market losses
 leading to short Covering and fresh buying in banks stocks

Declaration of good results by Accentura, a leading US IT
 co. changed the Sentiment in Indian IT sector
leading to rally in Infosys, HCL,TCS and others

As Nifty and Sensex crossed certain resistance levels there was a
Panic in short   traders to cover their positions which  added
 additional fuel In market leading to cross the
50 and 200 day Exponential Average.
There were fresh long created by FII in certain sectors like Banking
And Cap goods which lifted the sentiment of markets
Indian currency not falling, indicating that FII have not withdrawn
From Indian Markets

There are certain worrying factors which market participants
Should not ignore during next week, like…..

Debt distress in Europe
Downgrade of Portugal
Spiraling Oil Prices
Rising Inflation
Slow Disinvestment process
And
Expiry on 31st March
And
Earning season will be on in next month

During next few days one has to see how a mix of all these factors
Work in the minds of traders and investors .
Market had teste March low at 5340 on 21st , from there
Nifty rallied during next 5/6 trading sessions to cross the
Important resistance leve of 5600 and went on to close the
Week at 5667 , a gain of 371 points in Nifty in 5 trading sessions

Nifty and sensex has crossed all the short term simple moving
Averages like 5/20/40 and 50 indicative of a short term up trend
Even 50/200 Day Exponential averages are taken out by Nifty
And Sensex ,
Now the next resistance comes at 200 Day Simple Moving Avrage
Placed at 5685/18941
This will provide stiff resistance to market leading to selling
By traders and investors , any correction will take Nifty to
200Day Exponential average at 5588 or below that at 50 Day
Exp. Average at 5542.
As long as Nifty remains above these levels all the dips should
Be bought with a target of 5700/5760 in mind.
It is advisable not to  built shorts, unless Nifty breaks below
 5542/5480 on closing basis



 Next Week watch the levels

UPWARD: 5688/5700/5760
DOWNWARD: 5588/5542/5480


COMMENTS

Events like Derivatives expiry and sales number of Auto
 And Cement firms will determine market direction for next
 Week. Developments in the world's third largest economy
 - Japan and Portugal’s debt crisis, may continue to remain
 a concern. Crude oil prices will also remain in focus owing
 To unrest in the Middle East and North Africa

Also keep track of PCR (Put call ratio) and VXI (volatility),

There are certain significant technical developments like…

Reduction in Put call Ratio (PCR), indicating long built and short
Covering.

VXI (Volatility index) has dropped below 20 and getting
Settled at lower levels, One has to remember that VXI
And Nifty go in opposite directions. If VXI is down Nifty
Rises and vise versa. As VXI starts settling market gets
Bottomed out

As the expiry is nearing there will be rise in Volatility, short traders
Will not be rolling their positions leading to less shorts in the
System in April series, so market direction will be decided by
Fresh long in F and O as well as cash base buying by FII/DII.

In April Indian industrials will start earning season.
Earnings are likely to be affected by oil prices and commodity
Prices.  
So even though markets are surging ahead with great speed
And expectations, there are important ‘Road Blocks’ ahead

Traders and investors should play market with caution, safety and
Without euphoria. Have trades with stop loss and or
Buy with small lots at every dip.

SECTOR SPECIFIC

Traders and Investors can think of buying in

Banking
Cement
Capitol Goods
Construction and Infra
Mid Cap IT

Avoid
Autos
Pharma
Fmcg
Reality

IMPRESSIONS

Bullish Bias with caution at higher levels

Dear friends                         I WAS WRITING BLOG SINCE 2008 ..till 2011 somehow ...it was discontinued because of personal ...
