markets for 31 aug 09
the new week opens with the confusion in the minds of the traders whether the break out shown by nifty on friday by closing above the previous high of 4731 was a real break out or a bull trap for all those who bought the break out. Secondly the cleaner index sensex has not reached the break out point of 16002.thirdly the indices have gone up consecutively for 7 days in a row. Fourthly monday being the last day of the month, can the indices have a new monthly and yearly high on monday & lastly dow having gone up for 8 days in a row, has corrected mildly on friday. At the back drop of all these negative aspects, nifty still looks highly bullish technically, to reach higher levels on monday. If there are no nasty surprises from asian markets, then one can still hope of another day of up move to equal dows recent rise of 8 days in a row.
For intraday trading on monday, nifty has strong support around 4686 levels a breach of which can bring it again down nearer to 4650 levels where solid buying support is likely to emerge. On the higher side nifty faces initial resistance around 4747 levels above which 4766 may pose some problem. Above this level, a cross over of 4788 may be tough on monday as it is the 61.8% fibonacci retracement level from jan 08 high of 6357 to the oct 08 low of 2252. The decisive cross over of this critical level will certainly come but a little later through a gap up opening.
Any intraday or a day or two of correction in markets during the week may offer golden opportunity for long term investors to boldly buy stocks in oil & gas exploration, power, infra , metals & banking sectors for very good gains in the medium to long term.
