Patiance needed in the market

Today's Strategy


If you go to study the reason behind Monday market fall, you will find several. But if you had follow technical you would have never get caught or you would have exited with minor loss.


Lets come to a point. How does market look tomorrow ?


If you survey it closely you would see that market had recovered at the last half an hour trade, this is one of the positive sign.


But seeing the European markets I don't expect a positive opening, unless Asian markets comes out with miracle.


Let us assume that the market goes down. In this keep a watch on 5085 a first technical support, if we happen to break this level and trade below this level for a couple of minutes we might see 4980. These two are most important level to watch, if market is expected to bounce back then bounce back should come from any one of these levels. If these two levels fails to give any reaction then we might see 4600 - 4650.


If at all we happen to move towards positive direction, then the first resistance we find it at 5375 not a very hard resistance then 5412, 5495 but we find a solid resistance at 5612 which seems hard to be broken in tomorrow trade if at all market move up with force which is not expected.

NorTechnicals nor Fundamentals work in a panic market hence lets wait and see what happens on Tuesday. Its the best chance a Investor with time horizon of 6 – 12 months should utilise to add stocks

TODAY IS BANKING DAY

NIFTY JAN 5900 PUT is flat, OI of NIFTY JAN 5800,5700,5600,5500 PUTS rises indicating more downside still remain. I expect on Monday if mkt trades negative till 12 noon then margin calls of retail investors will be triggered. I expect NIFTY SPOT will come down to below 5600 levels in intraday. I prefer to watch OI of NIFTY FUT and OI of NIFTY JAN 5900 PUT at these levels then decide whether to go long or to wait. I also expect bounce back of NIFTY SPOT from 5550-5600 levels.I m expecting expiry of JAN SERIES above 5900 levels in current situation but more clear picture of expiry will emerge next week

GAP DOWN OPEN

The market may edge lower tracking weak global markets. US stocks fell sharply on Thursday, 17 January 2008, as news of a plunge in regional factory activity and a hefty loss at Merrill Lynch further clouded an increasingly dire view of the US economy. In one of the strongest signals yet that the economy is at high risk of contracting, the Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank said mid-Atlantic factory activity has slowed much more than expected to levels that typically signal recession.

The Q3 December 2007 results announced by India Inc. so far have been more or less in line with market expectations. Stock-specific activity may rule the roost in the near term based on expectations of results of individual firms. Some of the top brokerages expect a slowdown in earnings growth of 30-Sensex firms in Q3 December 2007.

Just a while ago, Wipro reported 11% growth in net profit as per US accounting standards to Rs 826 crore in Q3 December 2007 over Q3 December 2006. The other key results scheduled today are ITC and HDFC.

The government will release the inflation figure for the year through 5 January 2008 today. Annual inflation, based on the wholesale price index (WPI), stood at 3.5% in the year through 29 December 2007, same as the year through 22 December 2007.

Meanwhile, no decision was taken yesterday, 17 January 2008, at a meeting of the group of ministers (GoM) on fuel prices. GoM meet again later. A hike retail fuel prices will result in increase in inflation.

In Asia, key benchmark indices in Hong Kong, China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan were down by between 0.1% to 2.32%.

The Dow Jones industrial average plunged 306.95 points, or 2.46%, to close at 12,159.21, on Thursday. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index lost 39.95 points, or 2.91%, at 1,333.25. The Nasdaq Composite Index shed 47.69 points, or 1.99%, at 2,346.90.

FIIs sold shares worth a net Rs 2267.40 crore on Thursday, the day when Sensex lost 167 points. Domestic funds bought shares worth a net Rs 734.75 crore on that day.

FIIs were net buyers of index futures to the tune of Rs 611.60 crore on Thursday. They net bought index options worth Rs 279.71 crore. FIIs sold individual stock futures to the tune of Rs 1220.25 crore on that day.

TCS beats the street, bulls retreat

Today, Nifty has support at 5,842 and resistance at 6,027 and BSE Sensex has support at 19,521 and resistance at 20,189
On Wednesday, the FIIs stood as net buyer both in equity and debt. The gross equity purchased was Rs5,209.90 Crore and the gross debt purchased was Rs249.10 Crore while the gross equity sold stood at Rs4,984.10 Crore and gross debt sold stood at Rs45.10 Crore. Therefore, the net investment of equity reported was Rs225.80 Crore and net debt was Rs204 Crore.

TCS beats the street with exemplory results with a 19% jump in the net profit. The company is more focussed on emerging economies and reducing the exposure to US. Growth in operating margins of IT biggies is definitely worth noting with TCS contuining the trend intiated by Infosys, offsetting the strong Rupee.
US Markets could not sustain at higher levels and continued to drift down.

Indian Markets are likely to consolidate today and Midcaps are showing signs of resistance. Reliance Power and Future Capital IPO continued to take the sheen away from the secondary markets with huge interest from retail investors oversubscribing the issues 13 and 132 times respectively

We are not cautious on Indian Markets at these levels except for volatility. We believe markets are likely to move up after a decent consolidation. But major up moves cannot be expected with global turmoil buzz doing rounds. Patience pays

ICICI Bank is expected to double on value unlocking in the next one year

Megasoft is doing exceedingly well but can be picked only from a one year
