EOD Analysis for 25th October and Outlook for 26th October 2011

This was probably odd expiry by every means; the OI in Nifty futures were high at 34.5 mill throughout the day; Banknifty took steep cuts but no signs of Nifty giving up whatsoever; RIL extended strength whilst MnM, Tata Motors, Infosys all saw significant upside and lots of short-covering seen on LnT. VIX cooled down by almost 3 points which is actually confusing given the upward and downward gyrations seen [and a negative market breadth on the bourses] Nifty has broken out of the tight range and given a close above 5150 and this implies a high probable chance of filling in the gap all the way to 5328 on mahurat trading. Towards the end, lots of short-covering seen on BNF as well.

Markets are certainly not out of the woods and the danger of retesting sub-4700 levels still lies but that has to wait for some more time towards the critical time zone of 16th Nov to 22nd Nov; tomorrow for mahurat trading, we may not see too much negative action on the bourses regardless of global market cues. Again in November series, there are a lot of holidays so one should be very careful with the options of Nov series.

Weakness will only get confirmed with BNF giving a close below 9500 and Nifty giving a close below 4880; as mentioned earlier, closing above 5150 raises the chances of generating another 144 points in the same direction and hence now shorts should wait for a breakdown to be confirmed. All interest rate sensitives along with banks will lead the fall; 9750-9800 still remains a profit booking zone for BNF;

Last but not the least, this is a bear market rally and has remarkable resemblance to the patterns seen in April and August - enjoy the ride till it lasts but the next fall is again going to be severe;

PS: For all who are wondering why this corrective is taking so much time; would encourage reading the section on correctives following a sharp impulse action that usually takes the form of a Zig-Zag/Flat/Zig-Zag; From the 26th July to 26th August, Nifty dropped from 5702 to 4720 levels i.e. it fell at ROC = 32 points per day where as normal ROC for Nifty is 10 points per day. Second, with such sharp falls, a 50% retracement is very logical [we saw this at the fall from 6181, 5944 and now with 5740] and that 50% retracement has been completed today. The zig-zag structure comes into play because the previous corrective could not attain the required price target. Through-out August and September, the market geometry was trying to balance the time and price factor.

Happy Diwali to All of You and a Very Prosperous New Year

Dear Aniji-we first need to see how far bulls take this as they have achieved the herculean task of closing above 5150 against all odds - as I keep repeating the timeline with heavy negative weightage comes around 16th Nov and my eyes are glued to that only for now. Good luck
