  • On Friday a combination of Some supporting cues globally, an expected MPC outcome and oversold domestic markets led to a short squeeze resulting in  #Nifty and #BankNifty ending up 1.6% and 2.6% respectively.
  • Both #Nifty and #BankNifty made bullish engulfing candles on the daily chart, an outcome of a spectacular one sided intraday rally. The levels now look something like below ..
  • Levels :
  • Starting from last week Monday, when the markets opened gap down, the Indices have been moving in a range. Friday literally covering all the losses from Monday till Thu.
  • I personally feel that the rally on Friday has confirmed two points. A conviction from the DII to buy the markets at 16800 or so and also that the range is here to play. A strong move will be seen only if this range is breached on either side.
  • This range seems to be 16725 to 17200 for #Nifty and 37300 to 38825 for #BankNifty. A sharp move could be seen outside this range. While there is no reason to believe markets could give a sharp rise, there is also support coming in at lower levels. Also the Dollar Index has eased. So the range could be played till it breaches.
  • The rollover of #FII positions from September series to October series was more or less 1:1 and this indicates a conviction from there side on a very limited upper side. Though the lower side needs to be watched. 
  • #FII have been selling again for some time and they have also entered the October series with a huge number of shorts on Index futures. I haven't seen this kind of shorts for quite some time. The #FII are now 84% net short on #Index futures. These shorts need a follow through and could send the market crashing down if they do. The #DII on the other hand have been supporting and hence if they force the #FII to cover the shorts, we could actually see a sharp short squeeze. 
  • The above will keep the market volatile for some time. 
  • The Dollar Index has eased to 112 levels and have to stabilize there is we expect some recovery in the equity markets. Oil price has also eased and this helps us. US yields have eased slightly as well.

  • The IT stocks have picked some support at lower levels and may be good buys for cash. Maruti also showed support at lower levels of the range. Though ay leveraged position in these stocks is not advised. For that matter actually, one should avoid leveraged trading as of now. Keep your positions light or properly hedged.
  • Both #DowJones and #Nasdaq closed lower on Friday and may lead to a gap down opening for us here in India. We need to watch the initial low being protected on Monday. If it does, it could well confirm a short term support at the levels and may give a reasonable risk reward in the current range. Though one should be extremely wary of the risk reward and should watch the price action carefully on Monday.
  • Global events this week :
    • Chinese markets closed for the whole week.
    • Mon - German, British and US  Mfg PMI.
    • Tue - US jobs data and ECP president speech.
    • Wed - Indian markets closed, British composite and services PMI, US non farm employment and non mfg PMI
