Bazaaredge.com Market Outlook 04Aug11

Yesterday, after the gap down opening, Nifty did manage to hold the opening gap all through the day and finally ended with a loss of 51 points at 5,404,

 

Furthermore, Nifty too broke the support of the lower channel and had started walking down the lower Bollinger band, which is an indication that the ongoing downtrend will continue in the near future and any bounces from current levels should only be used for adding fresh shorts, as we still maintain our bearish view for 5,195,

 

The indices have closed in the upper end of the intraday range as the bulls were able to offer follow up support at lower levels during the session, aided by bear covering. The intraday range specified for the Nifty between the 5500 / 5360 held as the Nifty trended within these levels, thereby validating our intraday levels. The coming session is likely to witness resistance at the 5435 levels on advances, above which the 5475 maybe tested. Support is likely at the 5375 levels below which the 5340 maybe seen. The bullish pivot for the session is likely at the 5410 levels above which the Nifty must stay throughout the session. The bearish pivot is at the 5390 levels below which declines may occur. Traders must watch these levels for signs of trend determination in the coming session.

 

The daily candle chart of the Nifty shows a "spinning top" candle (fourth incident in five sessions), which indicates the a lack of clear direction in the intraday range. Note - the closing is above the opening and spinning top itself could imply a near term / temporary exhaustion of the downward pressure. The possibility of a pullback or even sideways trading is fair. The downward sloping trendline  remains a formidable resistance for the bulls to overcome.  The Nifty (spot) must stay above the 5410 levels sustainably with volumes and open interest expansion to rally intraday on Thursday. On the flip side, sustaining below the 5390 levels may trigger a fresh bout of declines.

 

The outlook for the markets on Thursday is that of guarded optimism as the bulls will have to keep the Nifty above the 5410 levels sustain ably. Expect a mild pullback / consolidation.

 

The key benchmark indices tumbled to five-week low at the onset of the early

trade, tracing weak Asian stocks. The market breadth was weak. Investor

sentiment also seemed to be impacted on concerns about fading corporate

profitability as well as global worries over US sovereign debt. The market

continued its descend in the morning session and remained below the baseline.

Pressure was witnessed among the Sensex heavyweights – Bharti Airtel slid on

weak 1Q performance, while L&T displayed some weakness ahead of results.

The indices recovered some of the losses during the early afternoon session just

to reverse the direction later. The indices remained plunged, buoyed by

pessimisms, leading to a choppy late trade session. The Sensex and Nifty lost

0.3% and 0.7%, respectively. The mid-cap and small-cap indices also closed

down by ~1.5%. Among the front runners, RInfra., ITC, Tata Power, Hindalco

and ONGC gained 0.4–3%, while L&T, Tata Motors, DLF, Baja Auto and Jindal

Steel lost 2–4%. Among mid caps, Peninsula Land, MVL, Unichem Lab, Gujarat

Fluorochemicals and Orchid Chemicals gained 5–8%, while IVRCL, Jubilant

Foods, Sujana Towers, Wockhardt and Thermax lost 4–5%.

Markets Today

The trend deciding level for the day is 17,935/5,402 levels. If NIFTY trades

above this level during the first half-an-hour of trade then we may witness a

further rally up to 18,011 – 18,081/5,425 – 5,446 levels. However, if NIFTY

trades below 17,935/5,402 levels for the first half-an-hour of trade then it may

correct up to 17,864 – 17,789/5,382 – 5,358 levels.
