24 Nov'08: Finally It Happened

On Friday nifty finally gave a much insisted surprise pull back which was pending for the last 3-4 sessions. Nifty opened almost flat and then increased up to 2660 levels where it faced the selling pressure which has bought nifty to the previous day’s closing level. Near the previous day’s closing level nifty bounced very strongly and there was no looking back which eventually took nifty to close at the day’s high of 2718. The strong pull back may be purely attributed to short covering in the futures.

US market on Friday closed strongly with their indices around 5-7% up in the last hour rally. Surprisingly today Asian markets also have opened and trading weak in negative region. Nifty is expected to open flat to mild positive. Intraday volatility may be anticipated for the day.

21 Nov'08: Massive Sell-off

Yesterday nifty opened weak by a huge gap down of around 100 points. During the day nifty defended the 2500 mark by testing that level couple of times and pulled back after testing and that is a positive sign at least for yesterday. There was intraday volatility within a narrow gap and ultimately nifty closed near the day’s high without filling the gap created in the opening.

There was once again a massive sell off in the US market which has resulted in the loss of around 5-7% in their indices. Asian markets also have opened and trading weak in negative region. Expect nifty also to open weak. Intraday surprises can be anticipated for the day.

On the upper side nifty may find resistance near 2589 or 2626 levels. Similarly on the lower side support exists near 2509 or 2466 levels. It is likely that nifty may take support near 2486 level which is a critical Fibonacci support level and breaching of which can easily take nifty towards the October low. As we are repeatedly indicating that the indices have entered oversold region, nifty may give a surprise pull back anytime and close positive at least for a day or two before it can fall back to lower levels

20 Nov'08: At Critical Support Level

Nifty opened positive by taking cues from the US market. During the day nifty formed double top at the day’s high of 2772 which attracted the long position holders to liquidate their positions and also invited fresh shorts which had eventually brought the nifty towards the day’s low without looking back. Nifty closed at 2635 which is closer to our mentioned critical support level of 2642.

There was a massive sell off in the US market which has resulted in the loss of around 5-7% in their indices. Asian markets also have opened and trading weak in negative region. Expect nifty also to open weak, possibly with a mild gap down. Intraday surprises can be anticipated for the day.

On the upper side nifty may find resistance near 2675 or 2732 levels. Similarly on the lower side support exists near 2578 or 2521 levels. In worst case scenario nifty should take support near 2486 level which is a critical Fibonacci support level and breaching of which can easily take nifty towards the October low.
