Nifty Reacts from Gunner arc, FII FnO Data Analysis

FII
  • FII’s bought 20.8 K contract of Index Future worth 587 cores,21.5 K Long contract were added by FII’s and 0.06 K short contracts  were added by FII’s. Net Open Interest increased  by 22.2  K contract. Qualities which define a Successful Traders we discussed qualities of trader, implement these qualities in your trading.
  • This is what we discussed yesterday Nifty after 7 days of decline showed a rise of 150 points, Nifty closed above the last swing low of 8470 and is now entering the difficult resistance zone of 8535-8555 where we have trendline resistance,pyrapoint resistance and also 100 SMA. Price action in this zone will suggest the further course of action. Also as per gunner chart, we are heading towards important gann line support and green arc.Nifty formed high of 8550 and corrected almost 100 points from the highs. Gunner chart was very helpful as it hit the green arc and the red line and started correcting. High of 8550 if not captured in next 2 days can see correcting itself towards the low of 8380/8300 and forming a new swing low.  We have 6 straight quarter of rise as seen in below quarterly chart so cautious advised in next quarter.

THE LAST CHANCE FOR THOSE WHO MISSED THE RALLY …..

When there is gloom, doom every where everything is taken with
pre-biased negative opinion forgetting that boom is the next stop. This is what 150 point strong Nifty rally showed today.over the weekend every blue channel and analyst were shouting from the roof top to sell, sell and sell with scary targets for nifty.
Now most of the investors missed the 150 point strong rally today and what lies ahead is the million dollar question….?. At this time US market is up 250 and Germany is up 190.
My dear investors making mistake is the part and parcel of investing life. The more damaging is to justify the mistake with imaginary reasons. The simple solution is to learn from the mistake. But the most important thing to make money in the stock market is to realize and accept the mistake. Rest is up to you to decide which your place is.
Common sense if watching blue channels and following technical tools can make money INDIA could have 125 crore billionaires. In stock market huge money can be made by smart money following macro events which predict the future in 100% perfection.Stock market usually provides best investing opportunity when there is fear in the air.
We have the best opportunity in 2015-16 as most of the correction seems to over. So fasten your seat belts for a profitable ride ahead….

Gold and Silver charts: an update


Gold_Mar1615 
 
The daily bar chart pattern of gold tried to cling on to the 1200 level for a few days, but the force of gravity (i.e. bear selling) pulled it all the way down to 1150 – where it is trying to find a temporary bottom.

All three technical indicators are inside their respective oversold zones – which may lead to an upward bounce. But this is not the time for bottom fishing. Bears appear to have a stranglehold on the chart.

The next positive trigger for gold bulls may be an expected interest rate increase by the US Fed. No one really knows when that will happen.

On longer term weekly chart (not shown), gold’s price closed well below its three weekly EMAs in a long-term bear market. Technical indicators are in bearish zones. The Nov ‘14 low is likely to be tested and breached.


Silver_Mar1615 
 
The daily bar chart pattern of silver breached the support level at 16 and dropped below 15.50. It is trying to find an intermediate bottom at 15.50.

Daily technical indicators are in the process of correcting oversold conditions, but their upward momentum looks weak. MACD is inside its oversold zone, but has stopped falling. RSI has bounced up from the edge of its oversold zone. Slow stochastic has just emerged from its oversold zone.

On longer term weekly chart (not shown), silver’s price is trading below all three weekly EMAs in a long-term bear market. Technical indicators are in bearish zones. A fall below 15 may test the Dec ‘14 low.

Trading strategy for 17th March 2015

The market after flat opening yesterday moved with moderate volatility amid bouts of buying and selling throughout the session and finally closed flat with marginal loss. The market witnessed sell off in stocks of metal, Infra, FMCG among others while select IT, pharma, reality and banking stocks rose on buying. The Sensex closed at 28437 down by 56 points while the Nifty ended at 8633 down by 14 points. Meanwhile, WPI declined at a much faster than expected pace of 2.06% on year in February, as government data showed yesterday. Readers are advised to trade with caution keeping stock specific approach.

NIFTY FUTURE (Last close 8665.60)

The counter after flat opening yesterday moved in a narrow range with moderate volatility and finally closed with marginal loss. The counter to gain strength needs to trade and remain above 8683.75 whereby it may move up to 8703/8726. Strong support for the counter exists at 8648.25 which if breached decisively with volumes then it may slide to 8629/8604.

BANK NIFTY FUTURE (Last close 18969.75)

The counter after flat opening yesterday moved in a choppy fashion throughout the session hitting day’s high of 19040 in closing hours. The counter finally closed with marginal gain of 88 points and may further move up to 19055/19112 on positive opening. Strong support for the counter exists at 18931.25 which if breached decisively with volumes then it may slide to 18888/18813.

PNB FUTURE (Last close 168.55)

The stock after consolidating during the past sessions closed yesterday above its weekly buy signal with moderate volumes gaining about one per-cent. The stock appears positive on charts and may move up to 171/173 on volume trading. Strong support for the stock exists at 165.25.

UNION BANK FUUTRE (Last close 170.85)

The stock after consolidating during the past sessions closed yesterday above its weekly buy signal with moderate volumes gaining over ½%. The stock appears positive on charts and may move up to 173/175 on volume trading. Strong support for the stock exists at 167.50.

Nifty from here

So Nifty what next? its clearly visible according to propr trend its sell on rise market. Very simple stop for this view is 8700 on closing basis.

But avoid shorting at gap down or at lower levels, good sup visible at lower levels, which may hold for very short term, as fall may not be straight line.

Those who are still thinking positive side, atleast follow this 8700 level, if nifty not able to close above 8700 immediately tomorrow, you need to change decision.

I suggest wait for tomorrow close if nifty closes below 8630 tomorrow, its confirmed weakness, can initiate positional shorts on tuesday in small upmove.

But I strongly feel nifty will consolidate in range next week & eat premiums, so avoid options.

If Nifty not able to close above 8700 this week, we need to assume nifty is in serious trouble, and heading towards big fall in coming days.

All above mentioned levels are spot

Conclusion: Can short nifty fut at 8690 & 8714, have total stop at 8745, take profit at 8635, 8615, 8590. In case if nifty opened gap down tomorrow wait patiently for rise.

5 mistakes small investors should avoid near a stock market top

The Indian stock market has been in a bull phase since Dec 2011. Nifty had touched a low of 4531 on Dec 20 ‘11, and rose to touch a lifetime high of 9119 on Mar 4 ‘15 – doubling in a little over 3 years.

Can the market rise even higher? Sure it can. Can it double again in the next 3 years? Anything is possible in the stock market – but the probability will be low because of the higher base.

So, expectations of making windfall gains should be moderated. Does that mean that there are no multibaggers left in the market? The market always provides opportunities – but investors need to be patient rather than chase after the ‘next Infosys’ or the ‘next L&T’.

Making huge gains is what motivates small investors to enter the stock market. But more important than making huge gains is preserving capital. The best way to do that is to avoid some common mistakes small investors make near a market top.
Here are five of them:

1. Looking at the Sensex and Nifty levels on a daily basis

Sensex and Nifty should be looked at for determining the long-term trend in the market. An easy way to do that is to look at an index chart with the 200 day EMA superimposed on it. A rising 200 day EMA with the index trading above it indicates a bull market. A falling 200 day EMA with the index trading below it represents a bear market.

Unless you own the 30 Sensex stocks or the 50 Nifty stocks, knowing the precise levels of Sensex and Nifty are not of much consequence and induces needless greed or fear. It is the performance of your portfolio that you need to monitor. Your asset allocation plan should tell you which assets you should buy or sell or hold.

Don’t have an asset allocation plan? Better make one – otherwise your investment decisions will be based on hearsay and gut-feel, which are sure tickets for disaster!

2. Selling in a panic if the market corrects 5-10%
 
There is a tendency for stock markets to correct when indices hit levels with several zeros in them, e.g. Sensex at 30000 or Nifty at 9000. Many traders (and investors) prefer to sell (or buy) at such levels. Note how call and put options are written at 7600 or 8800 – never at 7562 or 8793!

Corrections are part and parcel of a bull market. Corrections of 5-10% are quite common. These should be taken in stride, and in fact, welcomed as opportunities to add more. If you sell off in a panic, you may either miss the next leg of the up move, or re-enter at higher levels.

3. Getting swayed by economic and/or political news

Various economic and political news – which may or may not affect the stock market – flow into the market on a daily basis. Some companies win a few coal blocks in the auction – their stock prices go up. The IIP number is lower than expectations, the market falls.

The trick to avoid getting influenced by news is to realise that the effect of most news lasts 2 to 3 days at most. Things return to normal soon. It is the actual performance of the companies you own (yes, you own a small ‘share’ of the company whose stock you purchase) that matter over the longer term.

4. Buying ‘cheap’ stocks because the good stocks are ‘too expensive’

Regardless of when you enter the market, good stocks will typically trade at a premium. This is more so near a market top. If a stock is trading at a ‘cheap’ valuation, there is usually a very good reason for it to do so. Remember that ‘cheap’ stocks have a tendency to get even ‘cheaper’ – often just after you buy a large chunk of it!

If you are not an expert stock picker, and are confused about which stocks to buy during the ongoing correction in the market, choose a good diversified equity fund or a balanced fund. And keep investing your surplus savings in the fund regularly. After a few years, you will be amazed at the fortune you have generated with very little effort.

5. Holding on to your losers in the hope of getting back your ‘buy price’

If your portfolio has losers – don’t feel ashamed or blame your luck. Despite careful selection processes, stocks fail to perform as per expectations or lose money.

The big mistake – and this is perhaps the biggest cause of loss for most small investors – is to keep holding on to the losers in the hope of getting back your ‘buy price’. If a stock is losing money near a market top, it is unlikely it will ever make any money. Remember that the market doesn’t care about your ‘buy price’.

The best time to get rid of your losers is near a market top – when you may still find a buyer for them!

Nifty chart: a mid-week update (Mar 11 ‘15)

Expectations of a mid-year interest rate hike in the US propelled the US Dollar to new highs against global currencies. ECB began its bond buying (QE) programme with freshly printed money – further weakening the Euro against the Dollar.

FIIs switched to ‘sell’ mode – their net selling during the past two days was worth nearly Rs 1200 Crores. DIIs seem confused – buying and selling on alternate days. Nifty broke down below the bearish ‘rising wedge’ pattern (mentioned in an earlier post) within which it has been trading since the end of Jan ‘15.

The coal block and telecom spectrum auctions appear to be going well for the government. The large amounts raised should put a significant dent on India’s fiscal deficit, and allow investments in much-needed infrastructure projects.

The daily bar chart pattern of Nifty dropped below the ‘wedge’ and the 20 day EMA, but has received good support from the 50 day EMA so far. The support zone (marked by blue dotted lines on chart) between 8180 and 8630 should provide stronger support in case the index corrects some more.

An unscheduled 25 bps interest rate cut and a less-than-exciting budget has been already ‘discounted’ by the stock market. Q4 results - to be announced next month - may continue the disappointing trend set by Q3 results. Any positive triggers to boost bullish sentiments need to come from external sources.

Daily technical indicators are looking bearish. MACD is falling below its signal line in positive territory. ROC has dropped inside negative zone. RSI is below its 50% level. Slow stochastic has entered its oversold zone.

The index has corrected less than 5% from its lifetime high of 9119 (touched on Mar 4 ‘15). Some more correction is possible. Before you sell in a panic, remember that the index is trading well above its rising 200 day EMA in a long-term bull market. Periodic corrections have kept the chart ‘technically healthy’.

If you have already booked partial profits, redeploy the proceeds in a gilt fund or income fund instead of looking for new ideas near a market top. In a falling interest rate regime, long-term debt funds ought to do well – and also protect the downside.
