Sensex Technical View : Sensex gives a close below 9600 which opens up doors to 8900/9300 zone. Now let us see some technical factors. 1) Gaps ! The
2 open gaps are at 9361-9297 and 8740-8900. Breaking below 9600 makes
way for the gap at 9300 to be filled in near term. The lower gap at
8900 is an important support zone as it was a gap after a turning point
and ideally it needs to hold up on closing basis for positive bias to
remain.
2) Fibonacci Retracements The 50 /61.8 % retracement levels are placed at 9300/8900. We could see a test of these zones in a corrective downmove.
3)Patterns : Couple
of days back many chartist were looking at a possible head and
shoulders but till it doesnt breakout or crossover its just an academic
exercise. So the current structure suggests 8500-8900 zone is important
on closing basis if it sustains below that the low would be in danger.
The time analysis suggests we should stay above the 7700 levels for
around 20-40 sessions or 4-7 weeks. Till we dont breakout of this
pattern of lower high lower bottom the pressure would remain.
The
ideal strategy yet again is to react to market moves then to try
guessing volatility. So once we reach closer to 8900/9300 zone it would
be to close shorts and watch again. 8500 is a level below which the low
of 7700 could be in danger. But better to wait for 2-3 sessions of
closing before taking a major directional call.
Stocks to watchout for :
Possibly
there could be a weak opening with bad global cues but difficult to
guess the extent of it. Yet again lot of stock calls would be triggered
on intra day reaction basis. Had a few short calls yest HDFC 1710 (
covered at 1630-1650 ) , Kotak 397 ( 380 covered ) , RPL short at
78.5-80 ( hold ). So no calls for near term but shorts
shud be covered in the range of 8900-9300 or keep trailing stops once
we near the range to conserve profits.
Market Observations and Thoughts :
Inflation at sub 9 % may be good news but its no more a concern as a matter of fact it could plummet quickly in next year too.
Before
we get into inflation discussion i believe its no more a concern and
will not remain so for next 6-12 mths. We have seen a peak in commodity
prices and a similar price rise is not expected in next 6-12 mths. But
the core concern now is not inflation but growth or slowdown. So its
just an academic exercise we are taking by discussing on it.
In
my earlier view of base effect we discussed how inflation could fall
even when prices dont go up heavily. But now it would see another
impact which is the fall in prices !!!! . This implies it
could be an effect of fall in prices plus the base effect. So such
drops in inflation would be seen near to price cuts ( ATF , Crude ,
power etc etc ) .
ATF prices were cut twice
dunno when but in a matter of month or so and might be cut again also
if crude goes to 50 . This could impact inflation. But we can safely
assume inflation has peaked at 13% but whether it can go to the 4-6 %
safe zone over next one year is the next thing to watch on.
The
fall in inflation generally increases the sentiment towards a RBI rate
cut. The concern is more towards a flow of credit then towards
liquidity from here on. Every further rate cut should see a cut in
lending rates and a better flow in lending otherwise its not that
useful economically. Lower lending rates , easier lending , lower
inflation which could come only in mid of next year which could be the
inflection point of a turnaround in economy if it has to come. So keep
a watch on this scenario , but sentiments should remain low till Dec/
Jan as per earlier projection.
