markets for 23th nov 09
the new week opens at the back drop of a solid blast off on friday afternoon with nifty bouncing back from the critical support around 4925 levels to again close above 5052 levels. Monday also opens at the back drop od 3 consecutive days of falls in dow to which asian markets may react on monday by opening in the red that may impact the overall bullish out look expected of indian markets after the mega surge on friday.
Besides likely hood of weakness in some of the asian markets including sgs nifty that may see a flat to negative opening of indian markets, the fact that both sensex & nifty have closed near the highest point of the day on friday leaves some suspicion that the "near high of the day" closing was perhaps a trap led for the bulls. In any case, irrespective of the trap set or likely weak ness to be shown by asian markets, technically the indices look extremely strong for a decisive break out of the congestion zone around 5080 to 5095 levels. So, in case there are no nasty surprises from asian markets or sgx nifty, then one cane safely assume the continuation of the up move that has started from friday after noon towards higher levels breaching the congestion zone around 5080 to 5095 levels.
For intraday trading on monday, nifty finds support around 5037 levels below which 5020 followed by 5000 levels which will invite heavy buying interest. The fact that nifty has moved up in one go from the lows of 4933 to 5063 on friday, a flat opening or delay in the continuance of the up move may induce the feeling of bull trap that may quickly trigger profit booking to bring nifty down towards 5000 levels. However if the high volume sharp up move on friday afternoon was genuine, then irrespective of minor weakness in asian markets or sgx nifty, indian markets will move up towards october highs of 5181 in next few days, to be in line with other world markets like usa, europe and most of asian markets who had already breached their october highs during first half of november. So, if everything is just ok on monday morning, then one can expect the continuation of the up move with a mild pause.
Although cement sector has resumed its up move, india cement can again be shorted by intraday cash traders with a strict quit point above 106 levels, as the crossover of 106 can see a surge till 110 levels by expiry. Infra, capital goods & power sectors which have been mercilessly hammered out of shape may lead the next up move & can be accumulated on further declines by long to medium term investors.
