S&P Nifty (5104.95 points) (-52.75 pts)

The Bears dominated the entire day with a gap down openfavouring them. The Nifty hovered around the 5100 points, butwhen that got breached, intraday selling was seen dragging theNifty to a low of 5072 points. The Metal and Power-Energy stocksshowed strength but profit taking was seen in Banking, CGS andOil & Gas sector. Volumes were lower than previous session whilethe A/D ratio was negative at 1:2.It was mentioned in the Friday’s report that the Bulls may takebreather at higher levels and that 5165-5176 is the bottleneck areain the Nifty. Weekly S1 is pegged at 5019 points; a breach of it cantest the crucial trendline support in green (currently pegged at 4948points). As long as it holds the bias is up. If the Nifty sustains above5175 points we could see it testing 5214 points.Intraday, the Nifty has to sustain above 5130 points while to negatebearishness it has to hit a high of 5185 points. Pivot is pegged at5102 points with immediate support at 5065 points. A low below5040 points would indicate more selling pressure.

S&P Nifty (4957.80 points) (-54.85 pts)

The Nifty opened higher and continued to move up from where ithad left before. Till the mid-session it was steadily trading around5045-5050 points. Later, the Bears became active when intradayrallies failed to cross the daily R1 at 5071 points. More than 100points were knocked off from the days high in the last hour of trade.Heavy weights were slaughtered as the Bears were on a rampage.In the end the Nifty closed a percent lower on higher volumes. TheA/D ratio was marginally positive.Profit taking which began around 5060 points (38.2% retracementof the fall from 5298-4913) soon turned out to be a decent sell off.The Nifty is yet again near the crucial supports at 4915 and 4883points (weekly s1). Trend line support in green is pegged at 4935points. On the upside, the 5085-5115 points is the bottleneck areaand for a sustained up move, trendline in pink needs to bedecisively crossed.Intraday, 4988 points is the pivot in the Nifty. Immediate support ispegged at 4912 points where as the bulls cannot afford a low below4889 points. Resistance in rallies is pegged at 5035 points which ifsustained, we could see further up move. Once again the volatility isacting as a double edged sword. It’s an acid test for the Bulls; theyneed to act quickly before the Bears strangulate them.

S&P Nifty (5081.70 points) (-53.80 pts)

The markets remained in the negative territory through out the day
losing a percent at close. It opened weak and later oscillated in a
narrow range. Banking stocks along with ITC and Larsen led the
decline. Reliance was steady while Tisco rallied which helped in
cushioning the fall. Volumes were lower while the A/D ratio was
negative at 1:2.
Yesterday, the Nifty marginally breached the crucial intraday
support at 5066-5073 points. The Bulls failed to hit the asking rate
of 5161 points; for today it has shifted to 5130 points. Immediate
resistance is at 5213 points while the 38.2% retracement of the
recent rise from 4628 points (5015) is the support. A decisive breach
of it could see it drifting further testing the green trend line.
Intraday, crucial support in the Nifty is at 5032-5045 points. Pivot
is pegged at 5197 points which if sustained then next resistance is
at 5130 points. For the past couple of sessions the Bears are
tightening their grip as the Bulls take a breather. The onus is on
the Bulls to come out of this situation. Markets are likely to remain
swinging and volatile.

S&P Nifty (5135.50 points) (-9.15 pts)

As anticipated the markets oscillated within a narrow range of 40-
50 points. It was more of a stock specific movement as they
supported the Indices in rotation. The Nifty bounced exactly from
the S1 (5101) mentioned in the earlier report. Amidst selling
pressure, the IT stocks remained steady. Late surge in Reliance led
the comeback. The A/D ratio was marginally negative and the
volumes were lower than previous session.
On the breach of support line in blue, the Nifty is down 100 points
and around 160 points from the recent high (in 2-3 days). If it’s a
permissible correction, we should get a relief today; otherwise one
should be alert. Unless 5284 points is not decisively crossed upside
is capped and as long as crucial support at 5073 points holds, the
Bulls are safe. The 38.2% retracement of the recent rise from 4628
points is approximately around 5015 points.
Intraday pivot in the Nifty is at 5134 points. Support in declines is
at 5103 and below at 5066-5073 points. The Bulls have to sustain
above 5181 points to ward of the Bear threat. As indecision
prevailed at higher levels, market participation is lower in this
week. The Bulls are getting intraday support at lower levels ( close
is away from the low). Without wasting time they need to act
quickly to prevent the Bears entering their territory.

S&P Nifty (5192.25 points) (-35.95 pts)

The Nifty opened higher but failed to sustain at higher levels. Profittaking coupled with some speculative selling wiped off 65 pointsfrom the day’s high. The Bulls made every effort but in vain.

Volumes were slightly higher while the A/D ratio was at par.Auto, IT and Realty stocks were under selling pressure but it wasLarsen that caused the damage. The steep support line in blue isbreached. For fresh up momentum it has to decisively cross 5253points to test the resistance at 5314 points. Immediate support ispegged at 5 153 points (Weekly S1) and below at 5073 points.Intraday, the 5211 points is the pivot in the Nifty. Resistance onthe upside is pegged at 5236 and up at 5282 points. Crucial supportis at 5153-63 points; a breach of it could see more pain for the Bulls.The over-weight Bulls are finding it difficult to carry on with thesame pace.

For the past 3 trading, volatility hasshrunk; it is likely to uncoil in the coming days, trade with stop loss.
