Dow jones closing will be the main guidance for monday!

Budget has been basically an "AAM admi" one but the main problem basically lies in world markets movement.Today if Dow jones closes in negative then we might be heading towards 5050 on monday on Nifty.
I am seeing a big move on monday,at one time Nifty was nearly 200 points down today, but later some buying came in, in the form of short covering by some institutions( as such a big swing can be done by only institutions).
The range for the month of March is 5270-5050,either side breakout and closing of the Nifty below/above these levels will be the coming intermediate trend of the market, and as posted in previous articles, i am not that bullish,i would be more interested in buying OTM(Out of the money) puts on monday.
Watch out for reliance as this could lead the fall and weaken Nifty further.
Other view is that if Dow jones closes in +ve today with a good healthy rally then we can expect a flat to +ve opening and I expect reliance to get stronger,and bring the mkt in green for sometime.

Best of Luck!

Personal income TAX exepmtion limit raised... hurrah!

Many tax payers who paid less than 4000 or near 4000 as TAX last year will now need not pay even that amount,as relief of Rs4000 has been given to male tax payers and slab raised to 1.5lacs and 1.8lacs for women.
This is a welcoming decision and i hope this is implemented soon for 08-09.
Congrats to all Tax payers!

Flukes work best in choppy market!

I am a good analyzer but i am not a good guesser!, when we say this "i do technical analysis on stocks n commodities" it means i use computer,software,internet and stock n commodities data which is processed in the charts and then using the rules and chart patterns plus the indicators we come to the conclusion that stock market or a particular stock is heading towards a particular target,this method fails when market moves in a small range and doesnt follows the market mechanics, i.e. the stock/index moves in a direction in a few minutes then all of a sudden reverses its trend showing indecision among the traders.
The similar pattern is seen in daily charts as well. Now if some kid is told to sell a stock if touches a high and buy if it touches a low, then he would make money in such a small range choppy mkt, but an expert in technical analysis who beleives in trading in a trend will 101% lose money, as what he has learned and practised since 5-10yrs of his career, everything goes opposite to what he is doing, this happens with Mutual Fund managers and also with Forex/bullion traders.
Losses are a part of technical analysis, but technical analysis is a form of analysis to reduce losses and maximize profits, but in a rangebound- sideways market, flukes work best, and i encourage people to do that, who are restless and want to trade everyday, even when there is no trend, like in this month, which has been basically a trendless month.
In such a market options come very handy, and using different strategies to counter the sideways market.
Coming to the point, stay away from stocks till a trend emerges, or trade in options only if you know what are options!

The call+put writing now at Rs13,profit of Rs65 per lot.

The call+put writing which was given two days back was at 78 now the Nifty options 5000put and 5300 call combined value is 13 only at the time of writing this article.
A total of Rs65 profit per lot, which Rs65 x 30 = 3150,today also happens to be the expiry day and who knows both the options might get zero by closing of the market.
maximum profit will be 78 only in this strategy.

Are we heading down south? chances are 60:40 !

Yes! we could be heading towards the range of Nifty 4600-4800 levels, if and only if reliance remains below 2621 for another few days and that could be the last nail on the coffin.
Reliance is the culprit and reliance will be the leader, this has been proved all the times when market is weak and when market is strong.
Reliance has a very strong resistance at 2621 which it is not able to break,as happened yesterday also, it did managed to make a high above 2621, but failed to manage to close above it and closed down in negative below 2600.
This is an indication that we could be having a possible correction tomorrow and the budget will be announced tomorrow as well(if my dates information are right), I am not very optimistic about the budget and our FM will be more interested in more collecting tax from the stock market rather raising the IT slab to 2lacs, which we might never able to witness in coming 50years, and which is highly anticipated among the middle class and higher middle class indians.
Coming to the point, I would be more interested in short selling at highs, and with every support level being broken.
My simple suggestion "Make hay while sun shines" and when sun is not shining stay inside your homes coz the bears roam in the dark nights!

Best of Luck!

Rangebound movement! Call+Put writing.

Nifty is in a small range and as anticipitated by me, we are more interested in call n put writing and taking the benefit of this rangebound movement,one can make good profit from options.
I dont see nifty heading above 5285-5300 which is its resistance currently,and neither its heading below 5000,therefore selling both the calls n puts of these ranges which were available yesterday at 75(put) and 20 (call), one could make good profit of Nifty remains in the 5000-5300 by the expiry date.Till now the value of both the options are comined 67, which was earlier 95,so a total profit of Rs28 per lot was coming just yesterday only. Maximum profit is obivously 95. Call n put writing is only possible when mkt/index/stock is expected to remain in a range,if the instrument breaks out from the range, then loss starts happening, so one has to closely watch the movement.
Take care!

We might be heading to a confirmed bottom?

Although this is not confirmed yet that we are heading to a bottom and from there we will see a bounce back,but the heavyweights could be making a last bottom in this intermediate correction and then a bounce back is quite possible.
The problem here is will the stocks obey the last lows of the previous heavy correction in end of Jan 08? Nifty nearly made a low of 4400, we might see nifty touching 4600-4800 but 4400 could be obeyed and a good bounce back to 5500-5600 levels could be seen, provided 5300 level is broken on the upside with good volumes, which nifty couldnt do it on Monday.
Another possibility which cannot be ruled out is the pattern of DOW JONES index, which is also making a bottoming formation and could be on the verge of an intermediate bottom and ready for a good bounce back, but these levels and times are the ones which are very dangerous as if a new low is made in DOW jones and Nifty then we are heading further southwards.
I am tracking Reliance closely and i see it hitting 2200-2300 range soon.
This week will be the highest volatile week.

Sustainability is the question!

One day up, another day down, then up then down, this is the movement of indian stock market these days, just as if we are having a camel ride. If this is the way our markets are going to move in another 1month, retail investors will run away like a mad dog and think of keeping their money in banks where they get safe 9-10% P.A. returns. Its a shame that only 4% of indians invest in stocks, and mutual funds, and hardly 1% invest in insurance. Is this 9% growth?? please our finance minister, where is the retail participation in stock market? and when they come they are let down by huge corrections and volatilities of the market.
Well the answer lies in the hands of retail investors itself. They need to study the company's business before investing in it, 90% retail traders/investors just watch TV or buy on the basis of uneducated brokers and friends, and end up losing big chunk of their savings.
I have been time to time insisting on learning technical analysis as in this study you dont need to watch TV or newspaper, the charts tell everything. The problem is nobody wants to take pain and give time to learning, everyone wants to bite a slice of easy money, and what happens? their tongues get burnt!
Wake up retail boys n girls, wake up!

Start accumulating Reliance!

Yes, the chart patterns show that we are very near a bottom and we might see a good upside in reliance,tatasteel,welspun gujarat,relcapital.These stocks cab exhibit good upside as a bounce back is very near.Also Dow jones is in positive today, and did a rally of around 200 points.My tgt of reliance 2500+ by coming friday.

Relpower will bring mkts up,is it possible?

Is it possible that Relpower listing will be welcomed with a rally? yes quite possible. Relpower is from the power sector and stocks like NTPC,Powergrid,BHEL, and many other power stocks will move up very well, this will also effect Reliance and can take it up.In charts also stocks dont seem to be so weak now as the expected correction has happened and a small bounce back is quite possible. Escorts looks very good and a target of 120 is possible tomorrow in it.

A Small correction cannot be overuled.

Nifty and Reliance chart shows that a small correction is very much possible on the cards as the pattern shows that reliance is moving up with small volumes and a small intraday weakness in it will lead to a heavy correction.Reliance can touch 2400-2450 levels during intraday itself, which may happen this week itsel.
This week could be a roller coaster one for intraday traders, and infact for everyone.
Reliance closed today at 2617.
Nifty Futures at 5480.
Nifty has a possibility of 5100-5200 levels.
I am giving these levels much in advance, so the possibility of these levels going wrong is also there, please consider this as a view and not a financial advice.

Best of Luck!

Nifty resistance at 5625!

Nifty has made a great comeback,as predicted in this blog, if someone visits this blog regularly, he/she will be benefitted greatly as with my knowledge of charts i can give good turning points in advance and on that basis once time his/her buy/sell strategy on stocks/futures.

Currently it looks like Nifty is heading towards 5625 which is again a strong resistance, if not crossed with volumes then consider a small mid-term correction which can happen this week on any day or in intraday, watchout for this level in Nifty spot and at the same time watch Nifty futures, as Futures move according to the underlying security, as this is the principle in Derivatives. If you dont know this, then you are a newbie and even after good experience you dont know this, then you should think of doing something else apart from stock trading.
