TRADING STRATEGY FOR 22ND APRIL 2009
(Based on technical by O P AGARWAL)
Markets close lower despite rate cut by RBI
Markets opened lower yesterday on weak global cues and the Sensex dipped to a low of 10764 amid high volatility at one time. However, markets bounced back after the announcement of 25 basis points cut in Repo and Reverse Repo rates by the RBI around noon with buying seen in interest sensitive sectors like realty, FMCG and telecom stocks. Select bank, IT and pharma stocks too participated in the rally. However, market sentiment remained subdued despite the rate cut by the apex bank and investors preferred to lighten their commitments and avoided adding fresh positions thereby forcing the market to decline once again in late afternoon trades and finally the Sensex, which had shot up to 11,068 from a low of 10,764, ended the day at 10,898 with a loss of 81 points. The Nifty closed 11 points lower at 3365.30. In intra-day trades, the Nifty touched a high of 3414.70 and a low of 3309.35. Readers are advised to trade with caution in view of high volatility seen in the market during the past few weeks.
NIFTY FUTURE (Last close 3365.85)
NF closed flat yet again after opening lower around its weekly support as was indicated in these columns yesterday. The counter appears to be getting support at lower levels despite profit taking at higher rates. However, NF to gain further strength needs to trade and remain above 3399.75, whereby it may move up to 3434/3453. Strong support for NF exists at 3319.25, which if breached decisively NF may decline to 3301/3280.
