Yesterday mornings post carried a cautionary remark as to the fine line dividing a cakewalk from quicksand.
The two were likened to being a perverse inverse image of one another.
One invokes the pleasing image of something nice and soft, a goal easily accomplished. (The term comes from a game like performance by the slaves where the winners were given pieces of cake, back then in America).
The other, quicksand, is the dreaded trap that leads the victim into the netherworld, a morass.
But the subject here is not semantics, nor semiotics.
The reason for this take is that times are such.
A pre-Budget rally is just that.
And more so till the breadth of the market remains in the negative and the Midcaps dont participate.
The action is going to be very sector specific, and within that the fancied ones would win.
Be sure of whats in the portfolio.
The f&o expiry is always interesting and choppy and this ones going to be no different.
On the face of it we are now outside the twilight zone, having edged out higher past the
3040 area, but just about. Even so, this is bullish territory for sure.
This is a make or break kind of a day, for the near term action.
While the dice is loaded overwhelmingly in favour of the bulls, in terms of the time factor, there are negative divergences as well.
The levels to the up: The important level is at
3059 to keep above. The line is
3053-3056-3059. Then
3062-3065-3068-3071. Beyond this the line is
3074-3077-3080.
3065 was mentioned in a couple of previous posts as an area of contention, the link is here towards the bottom of the post:

Supports are at
3047-3043-3041-3039-3036-3033-3031.
3027-3028 look like base supports for now.
