  • Indices opened to an extremely weak handover from the US markets yesterday and also opened in a zone which was not conducive for longs. Hence as I mentioned yesterday, the indices opened below 16000 and then started coming under pressure, giving away everything that was gained on the previous day.
  • We are now standing at a very crucial level. With Nifty already touching the 15670 low yesterday and not having recovered from there, we are now witnessing a serious threat of breaching this level and if it does happen, we risk a thousand point fall.
  • Let us look at the levels :
  • Yesterdays close was extremely weak. Partially fueled by the US futures as well. Yesterday when we closed, US futures was showing 400 point red. We however did not close that bad in US. This is the reason SGX Nifty this morning is 135 points green. Whether our markets would open there, may be yes if the US futures keep showing optimism.
  • Seeing the levels above, we are in the threat of falling till we are below 16000. So shorting may be a good idea till then, with 16100 as a stop loss. Risk reward would be better though if we start seeing the index below 15650. I would not short till then. A long can be taken if the Index starts trading above 16000-16100 with a target of 16400.
  • FII sold today for 4899Cr, the DII could only absorb 3225Cr from this. On the Futures side also, the stance of FII was bearish. They shorted 15000 contracts on Index futures against a long creation of 3290 Contracts. The Options data for yesterday is not that relevant as it was an expiry day.
  • Surprisingly, The Dollar Index has eased substantially to below 103and the yields have also eased slightly. This could be a breather, and a reason for the gap up opening being indicated by SGX today. However, the Dollar Index has started inching up this morning. Lets see if it continues to keep the pressure.
  • The options OI in general indicate a trading range of 16000 to 16500 and Bank Nifty showing a range of 33000 to 35000 levels..
  • The stocks mentioned above show weakness as of now, except Maruti which I feel has shown resilience in the current market move. I have been bullish on this stock for some time.
