TRADING STRATEGY FOR 24TH MARCH 2009
(Based on technical by O P AGARWAL)
Markets stage a smart rally
Markets opened gap up yesterday on the back of strong Asian cues on expectation of further economic stimulus from the U S FED. Hectic short covering ahead of F & O expiry on Thursday also aided the market sentiment. The market mood remained upbeat through out the session. Markets finally ended buoyant with the Sensex closing with a massive gain of 457 points or 5.1% at 9424, around 30 points down from its intra-day high of 9454, the Nifty closed 132.85 points or 4.73% up at 2939.90 after touching intra day high of 2949.75. Oil stocks were in demand right through the session. Banking stocks surged in late afternoon trade on hopes that lower interest rates may boost lending growth. Select I T stocks too surged on hopes of revival in U S economy. The market breadth was strong on BSE with 1,630 shares advancing as compared with 923 that declined. A total of 60 shares remained unchanged. Meantime, U S markets galloped yesterday with DOW gaining around 500 points and NASDAQ surging by around 100 points on hearing the government's plan to help banks remove as much as $1 trillion in bad assets from their books and sales of existing homes unexpectedly rising in February, recovering from a sharp drop in the previous month. Back home, markets may remain firm today on the back of strong global cues and short covering ahead of F & O expiry.
NIFTY FUTURE (Last close 2938.35)
NF opened gap up yesterday on strong cues from the Asian markets and the counter remained steady through out the session closing near days high gaining 136 points. NF appears positive on charts and may move upward to 2993/3039 once it trades and remains above 2971.75. Strong short term support for NF exists at 2898.25, which if breached decisively NF may slide to 2885/2857.
