- I mentioned in my last notes, in spite of the fall on Friday, US markets may drive a positive sentiment. This subject to the critical levels being held. I also suggested to watch this on the US futures. It was beautifully respected on Monday. Tuesday was a follow up.
- Taking cues from the US action, #DII today also went on a buying spree and see the result. The #FII were forced to cover more shorts.- The larger question is, now what?
- Before that, the levels :-
- After the move on Monday, the Indian Indices opened gap up today and also traded in a range. While this forced the #FII to cover shorts, we also saw some resistance at today's highs.
- Both the Indices on the futures side, saw short covering. Fresh longs are yet to be seen. Also the Indices have left a gap, this needs to be plugged. Also after a strong move from Friday till Monday, some traders may like to book some profits. We may thus see a bit of consolidation and a small dip till the first support above.
- However, the price action is strong and till the first supports are held, we may see some more bullish action. The charts actually indicate a move up to 17900 on #Nifty and 41700 on #BankNifty are very much possible. Will they breach the levels and take it to new highs? I cannot say that as of now.
- #FII today sold for a small amount and unwound a large number of shorts on Index futures. They also closed long puts and short puts, indicating a cautious stand, fearing some more momentum. Also fearing a small dip maybe. Though they haven't turned bullish yet.
- Dollar Index, US yields, Oil prices are all stable at current levels. So no cues need to be taken from there.
- India VIX has eased and is a good sign.
- Sectorally, i see some stocks in #BankNIfty giving a breakout. Though #HDFCBank still is cranky.
- In the IT index, #TCS and #Infy seem to be strong, though #Infy is stronger. I see some runway for Infy. #TCS may consolidate here.
- With a strong #BankNIfty and #NIftyIT, #Nifty may well get the required support to touch the levels I mentioned above. As we saw some critical levels of #DowJones and #Nasdaq are held, This time US may not give a negative surprise for #Nifty to shock.
- Well as of now, i see the Indices set for a good Pre Diwali rally, though do not go overboard to make aggressive positions. keep the position size under control.
