Nifty Price Analysis 28th April 2010

Finally, the market's made a significant move in some direction and as expected the move was on the downside. What is more significant is that the last two sessions have occurred on rising volumes whereas previous 5 green sessions were on falling volumes. We can now roughly estimate the downward channel that is beginning to form as seen on the charts. The lower line of the channel is yet to be confirmed, but the upper channel stands confirmed as two significant tops seem to confirm it. I am not paying too much emphasis on 5160 level as market's may (may not) reverse from there. As you might have noticed, I have been short on the market ever since 5400 was touched and hence I have short positions built up at 5357. I believe in shorting at market high's especially where resistance is there as such trades present one with excellent risk to reward opportunity and a certain price level to manage risks.

Going forward the market's may indeed bounce or consolidate. But there is no denying the fact that there is weakness lurking in the system. Derivative data today suggests significant call writing at 5300 level which does suggest as 5300 being a strong resistance now. Furthermore, almost all global markets (Dow, FTSE,DAX,Shanghai and Hang seng) have formed reversal patterns and are acting accordingly. Such uniform sell signals across all the major indices should be noticed with extreme caution. Yesterday, major global indices fell on high volumes and volatility spikes. Such scenarios are not trade mark of on going bull market's but are often implication of weakness underneath.

Views on AW10 and Nimish's discussion:

The problems associated with global market's is not going to die down so easily. Historically, if you analyze how the such things span out, the Asian crisis of the late 80's and 90's form as a perfect model as far as cascading effect is concerned. Thus, we might hear some positive news to boost up sentiments, but the whole problem related to the PIGS countries is far from over. Not long back we had the sub prime crisis where investors expected the markets to discount the fall of Lehman bank in Mid September - October by correcting 10-12%. No one at that moment knew what lied ahead. When such crisis happen, you can just never quantify what lies in the near future. What I mean is that, we can never say how much debt or how much problem actually lurks underneath. And since we can never say this, we can never anticipate what percentage of problem has the market discounted currently. These guys are smart enough to not let out all the information at once. And hence, we can never be in a position to judge what lies towards the right side of the chart. This is one reason I have never believed in the news which comes out. I believe in price analysis and inter market analysis and both at the moment suggest Caution.

Again these are my views and I may be wrong. I respect what AW10 and Nimish had written earlier regarding this.

Well Said Raunak.

There is always manupulation of data being released to the press.

Now even the US and Europe markets have turned choppy, agree with you on the downward channel.

Nifty Price Analysis 29th April and 30th April 2010

Last two sessions have been relatively positive for the Nifty. However, volume patterns again have fallen in positive days. The broad channel mentioned earlier is still intact and it seems it might be in existence for days to come. As of current price levels, level of 5350 remains crucial for trend to reverse. Seeing what is happening across global markets makes me assume that this level is a bit difficult to cross in the near term.

Currently we are in the earnings season and what we are witnessing is relatively good earnings as compared to previous quarters and previous years. My sense is that it is the nature of earnings which is preventing the market's to slide significantly. Other side of this also indicates that when such good earnings are unable to propel the market's then I wonder what will. This leads me to a conclusion that we are in a phase where we are linked to "Global cues" for market direction. If this indeed is the case, then things are not at all looking good for India.

Majority of global indices have given the reversal signals previous week and are behaving accordingly. Furthermore, the Greece cat n mouse saga continues as always. To add to this , Spain has announced an unemployment rate of 20% and Portugal has also indicated the problems it is likely to face. I wonder what the misery index for these countries would like. There is also a word going around that UK is not too far in terms of debt and a hung parliament (which is likely to be the case) is going to have some serious ramifications on the ever struggling economy.

I know Finance and Economics reasonably well and hence I can state that such crisis scenarios do not "go away" so easily. Yes, there might be some good news to boost up market's but the economic consequences of what is happening is going to last on the Euro and the Euro zone for some time to come. Thus, even if India and Asia are posting good numbers, the overall sentiment will drag our market's down for sometime. If this happens then we will get a good entry point to enter again at lower levels.

Uncertainty continues. UK election is on 6-May (this Thursday).
Most likely, we will have clear picture of wining party by Friday.. (don't know when will official result will be declared). So far all signals are pointing to opposition party coming in power (with coalition). Hung parliament is expected result..
I guess, the shock will be if opposition (i.e conservatives) get the majority. And even bigger shock will be if current ruling party (i.e Labour) come back to power.

Nifty Price Analysis - 4th May 2010

So what we were expecting has eventually occurred. Today the Nifty has formed a new low. And though in short term market's may consolidate, there now stands a good chance for market's to fall even further. Market analysts have been attributing the fall to Greece and Commodity collapse. But I guess this is just there way to "reason" events after they have occurred. The fact remains that all the while, market's have been reasonably weak. The way China was falling and the global indices were shaping up, it was only a matter of time that we would follow. As far as Greece and other PIGS related countries is concerned, I had mentioned earlier that the "Amount" market is discounting can never be said with certainty. Hence, we still remain in the "blind" zone as far as market's discounting some news is concerned. The main problem is of Information Asymmetry and in my experience, any form of asymmetry cannot be discounted "fully" in form of % decline or % upmove.

Towards the close, the volumes had substantially picked up (accelerated towards the end) and what seemed more worse was the Advance decline ratio. At the point of writing, there were 1057 declines as compared to 227 advances. Such broad market declines do have an underlying message which reflect broader bearishness and hence from trading perspective one must stay away from building long positions. Europe as of now is trading weak and Dow futures point towards a moderate fall.

Let's see how things shape up going forward.

P.S. I am unable to post charts as computers in my office have been hit by a virus. We'll be able to get things up and running as soon as possible. Till the mean time hope the posts help.

Ok completely agree only holding a few longs now. Had exited most of the banks I was long on friday and monday as they went up IDBI, Vijaya Bank, Dena Bank. Now looking to open shorts on stocks that have rallied in the last week and made new highs but signaled a failed break out:
HCL Tech
Tata Motors
LIC Housing
RNRL

Ranuank Your views on these stocks would be much appreciated. I dont believe shorting metal is a good idea now they might rally, one of the reasons why they fell were the Australian tax on the miners and the Mining stocks which have been falling in US and UK hence the fall in Seas Goa, Tata steel etc. But now there is some buying coming in the mining stocks in Aussie land and UK but still no clear buy signal.

Holding on to some IT stocks and some oversold stocks in sugar and metal sector! Bad analysis on my part however the second time when it failed to hold 5280 I had exited most of my banking and other porfitable trades which was on Friday afternoon and monday morning. Got good returns in some stocks but lost badly on the others.

Nimish, I'll be unable to comment on these stocks as all my computers are currently not functional. As a result of this, I am unable to access any data, charts etc. I am barely hanging on to this netbook which escaped the attack of trojans and viruses.

However, your view about shorting stocks which have given false break outs and depicting bull trap scenario should be ideal candidates for shorting. Good luck going ahead.

Tc.

Incidentally uncertainties are in almost all the important fronts which impact the markets. Be it politics, Euro crisis, Asian economies growth momentum or in general global markets. Ironically, all uncertainties are coming together to suggest a good fall from current levels. I hope guys are not too much leveraged. For guys like me who were short around 5400 levels, its time to open up a couple of Beers and say Cheers !!!

Pegasus, there is no simple answer to what you have asked. However, let me tell you that when such corrections happen, it is usually not followed by a solid up move. We should see significant volatile sessions (up days and down days) before making the next move (either up or down).

If you are a long term investor, then don't be too bothered with what is happening. However, if you are a trader, then either hedge your positions to avoid further loss or get out of your positions if you are not well versed with hedging. In my opinion we should stabilize around 5080 before breaking down to test 5010.
