DOES “UPA” HAS STRENGTH …?

The question at this hour is whether the UPA will face the trust vote or Dr. Manmohan Singh will resign before facing the parliament. The UPA is not relying on its strengths but trying to save from the weakness of the NDA. The new allies are not united at UPA and the old friends of NDA are surviving with limited trust among them.
The markets will live and dance to the tunes of the Delhi politics for next two days. The volatile moments give confusing signals for time to time. The technicals from the prices have little relevance as the markets may swing any direction at any time.

The heavy weights have something to say in the difficult/directionless times. The effort is to remind you how we made our journey to this level from 6300 to 3800 level. If you can, then go through….. “History helps us to plan for the Future” but in a different way.

Y can’t it be…………….18-11-2007 ......

The story is contrary to the current happenings at the bourses. The positive side shall go this way….
In my earlier write up I clearly mention to hold positions in fertilizer stocks for decent gains. Now they doubled from the prices recommended to buy & hold. In the same manner I wrote about the investments of FIIs in our markets. They first invested huge amounts in the Reliance group. They are familiar with the Reliance group growth story and the Indian growth story. Now they are spreading their investments to other sectors with different groups. The large caps are rather fully saturated at the price level and left with little scope for further appreciation. So the MFs, FIIs and the DIIs are left with no option but to explore new opportunities with emerging companies though they are small to medium in size at this point in time. The flare up in prices is due to the mismatch in their size and the liquid cash chasing the stock.
The negative side shall go this way….
The small cap and the medium cap stocks are now in their flare-up run at the bourses, but the investigative approach can show a dark side of manipulations in the game.
The story goes back to the 2005-2006, the FIIs, the MFs and the operators heavily invested in (the early bird catches the fish) the Mid-small cps to capture the instant large gains which turned out a futile effort due to lack of liquidity due to the steep crash when the Sensex was at 12000 range. The investments became dud for long two years with no moves. After a long frustration, now these people captured the up moves with vengeance. I personally feel that the prices are sky rocketing with thin edge time to participate in those sharp moves is a clear sign of distribution at higher levels.
The retail investor will know about the rise in the scrip at the end of the day, after the next day the participation comes above 20% rise. To conclude the view, these stocks likely to hit the lower circuits or steep fall occur after three to five trading sessions of Bull Run. Be cautious……………………


The end of the BULLRUN?.17-12-2007

The markets are taking deep breath to settle for a long leap up move or end of the Bull Run? Is the question at this point?
I see a steep correction like that happened in May 2005 if the Nifty fails to close above 5935 with in 3 trading sessions. At the immediate level the Nifty shall not close below 5670 level to continue the bull run.

Incase the Nifty fails to trade and close above 5885 tomorrow, it is likely that the markets likely to touch 5321-28 level and then markets need strong cues to rejuvenate the bulls.

The big boys of the market are very silent for their own reasons but the time has come that they need to infuse vital medicine to the Bulls to take on Bears. The good support of RIL at 2640-30, SBI has support at 2135-2128, ONGC has support at 1060-70, Bharti at 835-829 level and the ICICI has support at 1085-1090. Incase two or three stocks could stay above 4-5% above those support levels then the markets are for the Bulls.
The markets likely to take help from the tech stocks, FMGC and from the Pharma
With out doubt, the Small cap and Mid-cap run-up story is intact until the Nifty stays above 4865-4935 levels.

Uncertainty is Certain… 25-12-2007

The stock valuations are most vulnerable by their nature to the minor and major issues and to local and international issues even if they are not of much importance on the face of influence a lot in the minds of investors cause anxiety fluctuate in price irrespective of the percentage of concern. We can easily say, “the uncertainty is certain” at the bourses each time and every time. Those who fear about uncertainty can search their souls in peace, as nothing is certain.

As expected in my earlier write up the market bounced back on bull track in 4 trading sessions.(………if the Nifty to close above 5935 with in 3 trading sessions. At the immediate level the Nifty shall not close below 5670 level to continue the bull run…….. The markets likely to take help from the tech stocks, FMGC and from the Pharma).

Now the challenge at the Nifty level is to stay above 5778-71 to register a new high and above 6400 level by the end of first week of Feb-2008. The run up in the prices of power and infra will take a back seat and the service sectors and hotels will enjoy the support of bulls along with FMGC & retail move. The gas transportation and the network is the emerging sector. I have been suggesting holding in Fertliser stocks and the next big bet on banks with insurance exposure. These sectors will explode maximum followed by oil exploration and allied services.

No longer immune…….

The Indian markets are resilient to the external pressures of equity fall as the markets see good future but the immediate and short-term pressures cann’t be ruled out. In my ealier write up dated: 29/10/2007, clearly mentioned the possible up side be capped at 6290.

It can’t be stretched further….

…..I foresee the Bull run can become a long consolidation period- more than 6-9 months with a range of 5250-6290 at Nifty level.
The markets are likely to see more down ward action than upward momentum. The rise and fall ratio could be of 1:3 from next week onwards until Aug-Sep-2008. Incase economy could face the challenges for next 6 months than the upward journey in the stocks resume. Indian stocks revaluation based on the broad based economy and growth prospects is over and the real test is that the companies have to perform given the opportunities, then the markets. So is US………

The markets are fighting for their survival as the Bull Run took a beating at the bourses. The markets will take considerable time to resume their upward move. (Pls.read my earlier write ups.---the range suggested at 5250-6290 but the high touched at 6347). The game plans of the operators are very clear that they took the Sub-prime issue for more than 6-months so that the retail investors forget. I warned that the sub-prime issue is much bigger than what they pronouncing.

Now the long period of consolidation is good opportunity to traders as they can get in and get out at every 12-15% rise and fall. The earnings will be good to the Indian industry as the consumer demand and the economic growth continue to flourish. The markets likely to test the bottom at 5192-5226 at the worst scenario but this will happen only if the Nifty fails to cross 5935 before the end of Jan-FO series.

The markets likely to get support at 5670 level as first support and if trades below that level then the support at 5445-15 level at the October-07 level. So long the Reliance stays above 2630-50 level, ICICI stays above 1135-29 level and the ONDC stays above 1090-1110, SBI stays above 2020 and the Bharti stays above 810 level the markets enjoy the bulls support. This correction is a measure to MFs & FIIs to save themselves from the Mid-cap trap happened at 2005.

Never Forget: I may be wrong, You may be wrong but markets always RIGHT.
I request you to think carefully all the events that made the Bull run and the happenings that caused the burst.

The ultimate bargain ….

The markets though exhibited a robust up move and consequent weekly positive close will be challenged in the next two trading sessions due to the fluid political situation in Delhi.The Nifty has immediate support at 4030-4040 level to expect the bull move to continue further. The next support available at 3979-81 level but the ultimate support that formed in the recent times is 3820-30 level.

The horse trading is at its high spirits, no longer confined to smaller parties but to individuals who dare to question the CHIEF. The nuclear issue has become the election issue and parties are trying to attract the other and backstab the opponents. The parties draw their lines not only on the trust vote issue but their personal interests are at their best bargaining capacity. Whether the govt wins the trust vote or not but Indians faith on the leaders integrity was tarnished.

The real support came from ONGC, RIL, Bharti and the nuclear related power pack of NTPC, ABB and the RELinfra. The REL infra has good support at 805-801, ONGC is strong above 840, Bharti above 850 level, NTPC is good above 163, suggested in earlier postings. (The market pulse check by STOCKOMETER:Titled:Can we be in green….The Reliance closed below 2020 level but for today it shall trade below 1990 so that the bears can make their day happy at this counter). Yesterday the RIL showed an excellent support at 1990 rallied up to 2100+, so the scrip will become weak below 1990 level.

Never Forget: I may be wrong, You may be wrong but markets always RIGHT.

The robust move…....

The move started today has a good significance as the opening was normal and at one time Nifty went into red. The accumulation started from the morning to mid session. The move came after sufficient chunk of shares were acquired then the shoot up came.

The readers might have understood how the heavy weights show the direction and the importance of price levels. As mentioned earlier Bharti started the up move after it traded comfortable above 747, then touched 813 ( The market pulse check by STOCKOMETER :Titled: Asian melt down dt15-07-08,…… Bharti is good for del. above 750 level, but for today it is very likely that it will be available at 703-06 or even below that support level…)

I suggested for delivery in nuclear related companies and he move from the markets focused to Nuclear related infra & equipment companies.(STOCKOMETER:Titled: The UPA govt. lost the support of Left to stay in power sign the N-deal but manages to garner the like minded parties to corner the Left that the deal is inevitable in current scenario to meet the ever rising energy needs. So the deal will be through and benefit lots of companies like LT, Punjlloyd, ABB, Areva T&D, Siemens, NTPC, RelInfra and many other smaller companies queuing to cut their share in the cake……)
STOCKOMETER: To day in the Stock Specific Action, suggested RIL, RCOM gained strength, Infy failed to trade above 1605 and Tata Steel ex dividend Rs16, suggested there could be bounce bank failed to realized the weakness in the metal sectors. In the morning suggested that Nifty to gain strength from banking sector, SBI and Bharti.

Never Forget: I may be wrong, You may be wrong but markets always RIGHT.

Move up, further…….

The up move may continue as the global cues are positive and the Asian markets are trading in green with positive bias. The markets need to move up from these levels to need some positive triggers from the global and internal political action.

The Nifty shall not trade below 3890 level to cross the 4040 level. The markets will react to the results of Wipro, Satyam and the inflation figures released yesterday evening. The banking sector especially the SBI counter looks bullish and may move to 1400 level if it can sustain above 1260 level for 2 trading days. The Bharti may give good support to Nifty if it stays above 747 and cross 790 level.

Never Forget: I may be wrong, You may be wrong but markets always RIGHT.

Can we stand to gain….

The markets took the global positive cues and the crude falling from the peaks has provided the much needed bottom support. But do we have the courage to encourage the growth and taming the inflation with cautious approach?. The rainfall is keeping the experts fingers crossed as they can do very little about it and say it is above normal. Any delay more than a week can change the cropping equations.

The Nifty has crossed the minor resistance while facing the non-stop selling spree. Though it looks too early to conclude but as things stand out today on the face of it looks that Nifty made a reasonable support at 3800 level and will advance upto 4380-4550. The possible hurdle could be the failure of the Govt. to secure the trust vote and you know the result.

"Life" lived in the markets…

The dud feeling in the markets were eliminated for this day as the markets showed the elegance in pushing the prices up as well the Nifty.
As we expected, Nifty could cross the 3940 level in morning and could stay through out the day and closed above the crucial closing of 3943 level as expected in the morning posting.

The reality sector, banking sector posted decent gains. In the Intraday stock calls I clearly mention the strengths of RCOM, SBI, ICICI bank and RIL. They neither breached the support levels nor failed to continue their northward journey as the strength of support increased.

The Ranbaxy trouble may live for some weeks and the trouble from the forex losses may increase in the number, eroded the share value of the companies like Biocon, HCL tech, Mind Tree but the TCS could absorb the loss.

Never Forget: I may be wrong, You may be wrong but markets always RIGHT.

Positive Global cues….

The markets in US were very positive and posted decent gains. The Asian markets are in green and they can boost the positive sentiment in our markets. The crude fall gave a face lift at least for this week.

The tech Indians ADRs shined, Infy by 5.8%, Satyam by 6%, Wipro by 4%, the banking majors ICICI by 8.5% and the HDFC Bank rose by 6.5%.

The markets likely to post decent early gains in the morning and the challenge remains at this point is whether we could continue to cross the resistance at 3971-73 level and shall close above 3943. The severely beaten down banking and reality sectors will see some recovery.

Those who believe that the N-deal will go through with a positive trust vote can start buying the Nuclear equipment & parts supplying companies and the construction companies those are capable of executing these critical works.

The action for big action…..

The markets are struggling to face the new challenges at higher levels but are determined to fight against the present situation. There was no specific change in the economic/political situation but a favour came from “cooling of crude”, gave some bottom support to market.

The tech results are not very enthusiastic to take the Nifty levels to higher levels from these levels be it with Infy, TCS. The telecom stocks with lead from Bharti are going to scale high. After the 60 points positive start it went back to 70 points negative but recovered well with support from ONGC, Bharti, Ranbaxy, HUL, capital goods & power sectors.

The Bearish out look will remain at least for two quarters for sure. The crude has to trade below 120 dollars and the resultant ease of inflation will give positive signals to RBI to relax the money tightening policies. The cumulative effect can be seen in the indices with confidence in the investor community, then the Nifty will trade above 4500 level and the foreign money will chase our stocks. Till these things happen without much deviation, the markets will be in trading range.

Anyway we have to live with the numbers, the Nifty has some support at least for the time being at 3800 level till the trust vote. The temporary support shall push the Nifty above 3879 level in the morning trade and shall cross above 3940 level to see Bulls build confidence for time being.
The traders might have observed the fall in RIL below 2020 level and RPL below 163, once their support levels (suggested) were breached.

Only down….down/low grades….

India is now passing through a rough phase with low grade, lower grade marks for investments as “Fitch down grades India”. The down grades from Moody’s and Standard & Poor will come out with their reports soon.

The gloomy picture of today was not visualized in Jan-08.The crude was at $120 per barrel and every body expected that it will touch $150 per barrel but the markets across the world were in jubilant mood with bullish out look. Now there was nothing left to write on the emerging India’s growth story or the opportunities available. Now the issue is how fast we recover from the pessimistic views to positive view?.

The markets sold off today and could not recover from their lows. The Nifty supports are eroded with the flood like supply of selling orders. Now the Nifty lost it’s significance of bottom supports and the present situation throws a new challenge to cross the hurdles on the up side. The fist hurdle to cross is at 4040 level and should cross the second hurdle at 4280 level then there is some thing left to think on the Bulls side.

The Reliance to cross the resistance at 2140 and later it has to cross the second resistance at 2260 level to confirm the ease of the Bear pressure in this counter.
The banking sector heavy weight like ICICI has to cross the resistance of 645-50 level and the SBI has to trade above 1390 level. After persistence efforts at the front line stocks can throw light that some of the positive efforts of Bulls are yielding results. The earlier posts were discussed about the other heavy weights of Nifty that can influence.

The Asian meltdown…..

The Asian markets are reeling under pressure from the financial troubles facing by the US mortgage companies and the escalating tensions around Iran and the Israel. The US big brother control over the resources and geographies are the real causes for the commodity prices upward move but unfortunately in the uni-polar world there is country dare to question/check the US high handness.
The tensions across the global equity markets spreading fear in the emerging markets investments there by drifting lower and lower.
The Nifty is having reasonable first at support at 3961-63 level and the 3900 shall hold till the trust vote is over. The Infy shall find buying support at lower level as the correction is very steep. It was deep down at 1310 level in second week of March gone up to 2000 level in June came down to 1550 level. So it will save Nifty and the price can go from 1500 to 1680-1720 level in near future.
The telecom stocks will rise as the 3G auction is all set to take place in a month or two and Bharti is good for del. above 750 level, but for today it is very likely that it will be available at 703-06 or even below that support level. The RCOM will rally from this level to 580 level once the reverse merger with MTN takes place.
The RPL can drift to lower in case it trades below 163 level and the reality and infra likely to see lower levels. The metals especially ferrous will find selling pressure for today, Sail is weak below 139 and Tata steel below 686-89 level.

Monday, July 14, 2008

The fall is faster…..

The traders might have observed that the fall is much faster than the snail pace rise. The markets likely to witness the same kind of volatility till the HNI’s-deep pocked investors grab the early opportunity. The markets will fall but not more than 10% and create havoc in the minds of retail investor and pain in the heart.
The Nifty will not fall to 3200-300 levels as it fell from 5200 to this level. In case a sharp sell off from any సైడ్, market depth was shallow and it cannot take any out-right throw away sell-off.
The Nifty showed the required bull support to cross the 4093 level as posted in the morning but could not hold above 4073 level to give peace to the Bulls.
The Reliance (posted in the morning-The Reliance closed below 2020 level but for today it shall trade below 1990 so that the bears can make their day happy at this counter.) made a low of 1990 took support for this day abated the bears to make merry at the counter. The metals made a good come back across all counters and showed their strength. The RCOM failed to trade above 441-43 convincingly drifted to 435-36 level and Bharti didn’t hold the promise above 747. A surprise at the banking sector to many is that the Axis bank failed to cheer the street in spite of its robust quarterly numbers. The Ranbaxy sell off helps the Daiichi to buy the company with out raising the open offer.

Can we be in green….

The markets sold off due to the poor IIP numbers and the rising inflation numbers. The market closed temporarily at the support level at 4049 is a good sign. The two days made lots of changes in the political equations. The Congress thought that it could easily convince the smaller parties but Karat took it to his heart to tumble the Govt. and in the process a head of the ruling party. This could through a negative signal to the recovering markets.
The Nifty shall trade above 4073 and shall cross the resistance at 4093 level taking positive cues from the Asian markets. In case it fails to do so and trades below the 3990 level then it may touch 3900 level where it can has some support.
The Reliance closed below 2020 level but for today it shall trade below 1990 so that the bears can make their day happy at this counter. The RPL is strong above 169-170 level and weak below 163 level. The Infras may see further buying support at lower levels. The DLF is good above 449-51 weak below 446. The JP Associates was sold off could recover to day if it could trade above 165 but it is very unlikely. The Unitech is in a better place, good above 170 and weak below 165. The GMR Infra is good above 91 and weak below 89 level.
The RCOM showed resilience and the low is well above 421-23 support level. It is likely to advance further if it trades above 439-41 level. The Bharti crossed the first hurdle at 747 and the second at 757 level. So it is good for delivery in case the markets recover and trade above 751.

The USFDA case against Ranbaxy could dampen the share rise. The scrip trades below 531 then short sellers enjoy with a stop-loss of 541 from where it will be in Bull grip.
The markets will be volatile as both parties Bulls and Bears determined to win over the other. The Nifty is good for long only when it trades above 4145 level.

Numbers in profits…….

The markets are in full bear grip as they slipped from the 5185 level the very crucial support now has become a distance dream to reach. The fundamental analysts hope that the markets get life from the numbers declared by the companies and the profits in particular. The technical analysts also munching the numbers at which the company has support and resistances. So now the season is immersed in numbers.
The Business Line- Sunday, July 13, 2008, on the front page printed “Institutional investors buy ‘out-of-favour’ sectors in July”. The text covered as “What are institutional investors buying, with the Sensex hovering at 13k levels?. Mid-cap stocks in out-of favour sectors such as realestate, infrastructure, automobile, media and banking apper to have come back into the “buy” list of leading FIIs in July……”

Let the under-performing ( POSTED on Dt 30-06-2008)…..One of the clear signs of trend reversal in a bull market, the outperforming stock of yesterdays starts the signs of under-performance as the days goes by. The Index continues to surge in the same direction but the darlings take a nap. The same is the case with the falling market. There are some stocks those fall very steep than a retail investor could identify/imagine. The outright sell off will be seen with steep falls, as the days pass by every body could recognize that what was happened?. So the Deep-pockets garner the best opportunity to sell. In this bleak scenario there could be silver ling to identify the trend reversal. A clear observation can through the opportunity open to the retailers also. The trend reversal can be identified once the weakest sector finds buying interest in the market by the smart people that could be the secret why these weak stocks won’t fall however deep the market falls.
To validate the above observation it is necessary that the underperforming sectors in the market at this point in time are Real estate and Capital goods. So it is very important to see DLF trades above 496-503 level, Unitech shall trade above 210-214 level and the India Bulls Real estate above 395-400 level. The capital goods sector though has some silver lining with orders at disposal but the heat of raw material costs eating into the profits, thus evaporations of current prices to settle with lower P/E valuations. This sector has huge potential to outperform in future but the U-turn possible only when the price of L&T trades above 2750-2800 level, the BHEL shall trade above 1550-1585 and the ABB shall trade above 1020-36 level.

It came, went …dust was left….

The results of Infy are no surprise to many but the markets spooked the hopes of Bulls while falling relentlessly. The Nifty lost the bottom support at 4115-11 level and was parked at 4015 and closed at 4049 level with a consolation as this was the first positive close on weekly basis after a long time.

The IIP numbers surprised too many especially to the markets apart from the FM and RBI. The heads need to break their heads to manage the worsening situation forces them to take corrective measures in order to boost the economy and contain the inflation. The job at both hands made them to become busy to speak on economy.

The Infy results brought it to the April month end prices. It ruled two and half months above 1650 and a high at 2030. The results are good and the future out look is not conservative but the markets not enthused.

Yester day I wrote about the Forex losses that came from HCL-tech results and many more companies will publish in the forth coming results.

The Reliance closed below the 2020 level and the next level ….?

Thursday, July 10, 2008

Changes in the support levels?.

There are slight changes in the important heavy weights of Nifty which has first support at 4120 level and the second probably the temporary best at 4030 level.The Nifty shall trade above 4180 level to see futher 5% rise. The Infosys results are likely to change sentiment and the Nifty levels. The market always looks for special events and many a times it surprises many.
The Reliance is at the verge of its support at 2020 level and the RPL is struggling to cross the 174 hurdle. The Infosys is good so long it trades above1730 level, Wipro has good support above 435 and will become weak below 421. The TCS is one of the strong counters above 830 and Satyam above 456. The telecom counters are above their support levels but they are showing weakness due to selling pressure above the ruling current levels. The ONGC is struggling to cross the 892 hurdle but it will become weak only below 840.
The positives of yesterday and day before needs to get buying for SBI, REL Infra, NTPC, DLF, ABB and ICICI Bank. The ever escalating inflation figures, the global markets weakness and the challenges of the political parties are likely to dampen the euphoric strength shown by the Bulls.

Just observe I could be wrong: The S.P. support to Govt. strengthened Mr. Amar Sigh and he is (demanding) meeting the officials of different Ministries to dictate the policies of future, sorry I failed to present it correctly; to provide direction to future policies again sorry but the correct presentation is guidance/assistance to varies policy matters.

Waiting for Infosys results….?

The markets not only ours but the Asian markets shrug of the US cues as they are tired of accepting the negatives for the time being. Our markets traded as if they are waiting positive cues from the Tech giant Infosys. As such there was no gross violation in the levels suggested in the earlier postings.
The techs any way produce good results on the back of the depreciated rupee but the surprises will come from the monetary losses due to advance selling of dollars anticipating the rupee strengthening. The dollar-rupee management has become great job at hand to many dollar earning companies. They trade with anticipation of something and the reverse will happen as in the case of day traders do in the market. The result will be same to every one who trade continuously on any markets.
The smaller names are getting buying support in the market is a good sign that the markets are consolidating at the lower levels. This move will help the markets to move further by 10% from these levels. The metal sector got good support and the losers are the auto sector. The real estate pack will loose some market cap in the days to come but the capital goods sector will add value.

Strong bullishness displayed………

The markets soared to new high after it crossed 4100 level as the retail short sellers are in queue to cover.
The lackluster move displayed by the techs showed their strength at the fag end of the trading session. The levels suggested yesterday are valid till they are breached.
To analyse the levels: NTPC is very good above 163, today low is 163. RelInfra is very good above 805 level and the traders might have observed how it rallied from 805 to 845. RCOM is good above 421 level and today low registered at 420. Bharti traded above 731 to reach 758. The Punjlloyd maintained above 230 level. The RIl did not trade below 2025 rallied to 2095 level and the RPL traded at 168-169. The indicators suggested shall not loose their bottom supports to see that markets keep going up wards.
There is a word of caution: A patient discharged from hospital can walk but shall never try jogging/running.

No Left only Right to N-deal….

The UPA govt. lost the support of Left to stay in power to sign the N-deal but manages to garner the like minded parties to corner the Left that the deal is inevitable in current scenario to meet the ever rising energy needs.
So the deal will be through and benefit lots of companies like LT, Punjlloyd, ABB, Areva T&D, Siemens, NTPC, RelInfra and many other smaller companies queuing to cut their share in the cake.
The best thing to the markets is that the uncertainties as odds to Bulls start diluting as the time pass by. The Nifty clearly took support at 3850 level. The banking sector is inviting the MTM loss from their overseas bonds/contracts due to the new guidelines proposed by the RBI and the Reliance weakness crippling the fast run up from these levels.
The frontline stocks likely to advance (for tomorrow & short-term indicators) as the RIL is good above 2025, very good to markets if it can cross 2140 level and shall not trade below 1930 level (last excuse). The RPL shall trade above 167-168 level and shall not trade below 160-161 level.
The RCOM has good support at 405-403 level and good above 421 level. Bharti shall cross and trade above 729-31 level and shall not fall below 706-03. The ONGC shall trade above 886 and shall not trade below 840 level. The NTPC is good above 156 and very good above 163. The Rel Infra is good above 756 and very good if it could trade above 805 level. The Punjlloyd is good above 230 and very good if could cross 246 level but the low shall not breach 204 level.
The tech pack suddenly lost their support and started correcting to adjust to Nifty levels with positive bias.
This may not sound good but the fact is that the bears will not allow the Nifty for a run-up rally with a single/two piece of good news. The smaller political leaders/parities will cry loudly to bring attention for a better bargain could make the Nifty swing widely. During this bold headlines time before seeking the vote of confidence the “deep pocketed” shorts will be covered peacefully. The rally cannot be expected at this point in time as the consolidation has also not happened after the steep sell of fall from 5300 level. So the Nifty may oscillate between 3900-4680 level for July and first half of Aug-08. During this period the crude likely to come around 112-118 dollars and the inflation may show its decline to South-wards.

The pain balm move……

The markets world over are reeling under pressure from the crude weight and the follow-on inflation effects we are no eception but the fall from the heighs on profit booking is a big concern. As a matter of fact the effects of global melt down in equities carry forward to the demand and supply mismatch to commodities and the real estate. The correction in the crude will not give any rally to equities but provide cushion to a fresh free fall.

Now the July-Aug-2007 level is not sacrosanct to hold the Nifty above 4000 level but the looming uncertainties will take the Nifty below 3200 level once the 3800 level is breached. The levels suggested earlier for the Nifty while falling touched without any resistance from the Bulls. Now the markets are on hold from their free fall but the risk takers can try as the adjustments temporarily favour the Bulls.

The weakness in Reliance and the RPL are the major concern as the markets are struggling to accept any wind fall weight from these counters. The fall from highs are a negative signal at this time but the hope lies in the charts as the Nifty closed above 4020 level. In case the Reliance falls below 1950, RPL trades below 161 level then this minor positive sentiment will fade away.

The short term technicals…..

The markets likely to open with positive note as they were tired of negative news and Southward journey. But the up move will be with doubt about the future (now for the next day).

The pure technicals show that the Nifty could move above another 400 points so long it stays above 3945-35 level and Reliance stays above 2025 level. The up move will be sustained for only when the heavy weights shall cross their immediate resistance levels. The frontline counters like Bharati shall cross above 745, Reliance to cross above 2180, ONGC shall cross 900, Infosys shall cross 1800, the TCS shall cross 880, RPL shall cross 178, the UNITECH shall cross 183 and DLF shall cross 440 level.

The worry some factor is that Reliance and RPL counters were noting trading with the momentum as they always.
