JOIN TO KNOW MORE ADD sheth_jg@yahoo.com

Market still looks positive to me as long as market stays above 5120
Break of 5120 can drag the market down to 5035 and break of this to 4940
And especially 4940 is not expected to broken.
On the upside market faces immediate resistance at 5180 and a good resistance at 5235
Break of 5235 successfully and trade above this can take us to 5270 and then finally a good resistance zone between 5330 - 5350 followed by another good resistance zone at 5410 - 5420.

Always remember the zone between 5330 - 5350 and 5410 - 5420 have proved to be hard for the nifty to break and the reversal had many times near these levels

Pick No 1 - K S Oils - Our clients are holding this call, you can also look to buy around 85. Good for intraday and delivery. Stop loss and target only for clients. Clients will get proper target and proper stop loss of it. Remember don't execute any calls at hurry, wait for market to settle and don't buy in negative trend

Pick No 2 - Essar Oil - Again showing some positive sign, look to buy around the level of 240 and keep stop loss 233. Clients will get proper target and proper stop loss of it. Remember don't execute any calls at hurry, wait for market to settle and don't buy in negative trend

Indian Markets appear more concerned about US Economy, than the Wall Street. Any negative news across the globe is taken as advantage by the market players to short the market heavily. This implies we have a show on the cards with shorts still in play and any major upswings will push the Sensex wildly further. But technicals will support the rally only above 19.240, till then it is a cat and mice play.

Rupee is getting weaker and this augurs well for Technology stocks and other export oriented stocks like Textiles and Auto ancillaries. Yesterday's weak trade shows the promise in these sectors. Midcap IT showed strength on Tuesday and were silent yesterday. Today we expect them to fire again. PE funds are looking actively looking in the logistics space (Blackstone buys 10 percent stake in Allcargo). We like another stock here(Leader in Logistics).

in open interest with discount decreasing to 4.45 points from
11.65 points. The overall market has witnessed 0.90% addition

fresh build of long positions in stock futures. On the options

With lack of global cues Indian markets are likely to trade in a range with a positive bias. Yesterday's trade clearly indicates a tough fight between bulls and bears and the indecision is likely to continue today too.

A business newspaper reports that Indian tax department can now probe in Mauritius and this might act as a minor dampener to the sentiments. Coming to the positive front Government is likely to extend the sops for the 100% EOU's for another year. In another interesting development government today announced the issue of '7.95 per cent Fertilizer Companies Government of India Special Bonds, 2026’ for Rs 3,610 crore (nominal) to 23 fertiliser companies as compensation towards fertiliser subsidy during the current financial year. Chambal Fert, Magalore Fert, Nagarjuna Fert, RCF, Tata Chemicas, Deepak Fertiizers are reported to be eligible for the above mentioned bonds.

Crude continued to surge due to continued tensions between Venezuela and oil major Exxon Mobil. Cues from Asian markets are positive today with US markets closing on account of President's day. Midcap strength is a postiive sign and the big question is whether the small and midcaps take off??

We expect a pre-budget rally and technically crossing Sensex 19,250 is definitely a huge task. We do not see immediate resistances after Sensex 19.250 levels. There will be trading oppurtunities available today though taking quick profits is advisable to counter volatility. Have a great trading

Our BTST will rock today watch out ..........

Today picks - Rpower,Utv,JP Ass,
Join to know more Dont miss our call

Nifty started entering a bullish phase.. but now once again we need to always be
careful of higher level because of two reason...
==> Budget month
==> Nifty again coming near to the level of 5400. Where previously it found difficult to cross. But as of now this level as per the charts has increased to 5415.

On the upside I see a clear upword move upto 5415. 5415 should act as good resistance.If cross 5415 successfully and trade above it successfully can take Nifty to 5650 in few days

Dalal Street is expected to continue its upward journey on Monday morning. The cues from all the Asian markets are positive with Nikkei rising more than 1.3 percent. We see a positive overall with broad based buying across the board.

Mid Caps are likely to participate actively in the upmove, as they have been beaten down hard in the recent carnage. Some significant events that might be the talk of the town today are, bonus issue announced by ADAG to the shareholders of Reliance Power, RBI nod to IndiaBulls for setting up an NBFC and reports of Disney picking up a stake in UTV Software.Investment bank UBS has pegged the Sensex level at 22,600 by the end of the year.

We advise our visitors to hold on to the positions and given a chance add some quality companies to your portfolios. Unless some shocking news rocks the boat and dampens the sentiment, the markets are definitely looking healthier than ever in 200 Expect a 1.5 to 2 percent up move in the Sensex with select mid caps stealing the show

Will Indian markets change gears?

Subscribe to know more add sheth_jg@yahoo.com

As we told you 2 days back when nifty was 4850, that certain signals are showing that we are on a bullish trend and you could see what happen after that Nifty at 5200
Nifty looks minor bullish for tomorrow as long as it stays above 5235, but the direction is not clear yet.
The only concern was global clues which are down,On the downfall nifty finds a support at 5180 and then 5120.
5120 should act as a very good support any break below this can target 4940 on nifty
On upside we find immediate resistance at 5235 break past this level can take Nifty to 5400

Pick No 1 - buy jai prakash (cmp 273.55) - Looks set for rally looks a good buy at this level or upto 276 keep a stop loss of 268. Final target and final stop loss only to clients.

Pick No 2 - wwil (cmp - 46.35) - Wits on its way for another breakout. Can buy around 46 - 47. Ideal stop loss would be 44. Final target and stop loss only for clients.
Indian Markets as usual with no local news will try to bank on the global news with bears trying to take advantage. But we started late how can we go down tamely? We do not expect any major losses in the Indices today though subdued movement with wild swings not ruled out. Sensex has gained nearly 1200 points in the last two trading sessions and it requires a consolidation. Huge short interest build up is a definite positive for the Bulls.

Valentine’s Day….No bears please!

Indian Markets ready for a blast, midcaps to join the feast.

See what we wrote yesterday.

Market likely to show positive movement from now on words. Some positive sign are ---

Market Oversold
FNO Low open interest
Budget around the corner
No more IPO


(How true we were in this)


Market still looking positive,Be careful at higher levels.

The immediate good resistance market finds between 4940 followed by 5020.On successfully crossing this level of 5020 market should test 5115 - 5130.Market find a good support at 4820 and 4740.

Indian Markets are likely to jump on the positive global news and this time we expect the midcaps to participate in the rally today after a likely hesitant start. IT, Media, Banks, Metals and Infrastructure are likely to participate in the rally with IT and Banks likely to fight for the leadership.

Satyam is reported to bag eight deals worth nearly $50 million. We are extremely positive on IT companies going forward. Though we do not have any resistance levels till 19,240 for Sensex a lot depends on today's session. A upside movement of 500-600 points on a closing basis for Sensex is likely to trigger more short covering and then followed by a pre-budget rally is likely to bring comfort levels to investors.
