Is Market Bottomed Out????

When everybody in the market expects market to come down, market always reacts opposite. The same happened this time. Everybody was bearish on market and giving down targets. After breaking a low of 4632, Nifty made a new low of 4538. All market participants were expecting Nifty to come down to 4300-4000 level but Nifty reacted differently. Nifty gave a good bounce back in January and came back again to 5149 level. Is market bottomed out????


I will wait for confirmation. Still there are no signs of trend reversal in Nifty. Neither I found any trend reversal pattern nor Nifty has made Higher High and higher low (previous high 5402 is still intact). So I will wait and watch.

Let us assume Nifty has bottomed out then also it will have to come to 4850-4900 before making new High. If Nifty takes support at this level and gives bounce back and makes a new High, then only we will mark this as trend reversal. Second level of confirmation will come once Nifty breaks 5400 level.

Now let’s look at the chart; whenever RSI is near 70, Nifty has changed the trend. It has started coming down from that level. Since last one year whenever Nifty is coming down volumes are high and low on bounce back. In this bounce back also volumes are low.

Following Sectors looking weak on Charts:

IT, Metals, Power, Real estate, Oil & Gas

We may see profit booking in following sectors:

Consumer Durables, Capital Goods, Mid Cap and Small cap

Following sectors will Out-perform the market:

FMCG , Auto, Banking & Health Care

To Conclude, Nifty has not bottomed out yet. We will wait for confirmation. Confirmation will come only if Nifty makes higher low around 4850-4900 and then makes new High. If not, then we are still in down trend and down trend will resume once again below 4780.


WAIT AND WATCH FOR CONFIRMATION. Happy trading!!!!!!!




Sell off has started once again

After breaking major resistance of 5175 (17300), Nifty went up to 5400 levels. That was a typical Bull Trap and as I mentioned in my earlier blog, that was the last chance to exit equity market. Since August 2011 Dollar has appreciated against Indian rupee by almost 18% and hence foreign investors had to exit from Indian equity markets. Once Nifty breaks 4667 (Sensex-15652) we will get confirmation for next round of sell off.


Since the sensex has started, whenever it has broken previous years’ low, it has corrected at least 15% from that low. Previous year’s low for Nifty is 4667(Sensex-15652). Once that low is broken we can expect at least 15% correction till 3960(Sensex-13300). So every bounce back is a shorting opportunity. Now 4940 is a major resistance, one can go short around that level with stop loss above 5080.

Last chance to Exit from Equity market

I hope those who read my earlier blog must have booked the profits and parked their funds in Debt instruments where capital is safe. As I mentioned, Nifty came down by almost 1000 points and made a low of 5720 (Sensex – 15765). Nifty confirmed the down trend once it broke the major support of 5175 (17300). Now that support (5175) has become major resistance. Nifty tried to break the same twice but couldn’t succeed.


Today S&P CNX DEFTY (Nifty in terms of Dollar) has broken its previous low. Because of that FII sold the shares with volumes. Still we have not seen panic in the market but once Nifty breaks 4720; we may see a huge sell off in the market.

Till today FMCG sector has not given Sell but tomorrow we may see selloff in that sector too. If FMCG sector also becomes bearish that confirms down trade has started.

Time to book profits from Equity market

After the rate hike from RBI, market has started going down once again. As I said in my earlier blog, it’s a time to book profits from Equity markets and park your funds in debt instruments where capital is safe. This week Sensex has broken a major support of 18975 (Corresponding levels in Nifty – 5700), now the first support will come around 17800 (5350).

If you have missed the train you will get a chance to ride the trend once again. Next week if sensex comes around 18800 (5600) then one can go short with a Stop loss above 19300(5750). As I mentioned in my previous blog , this C wave of A-B-C correction. A wave was 21200 to 7700, B wave was 7700 to 21108 and C wave has started now which may take sensex to 12500-13000.

As mentioned in the chart “e” wave has started and this wave can be a very destructive one. This wave can be 161.8% to 261.8% of “a” i.e. 16000 / 14200 or 100% of “c” i.e. 16300.

Time to book profits in Smallcap and midcap stocks

Since Feb 2009, Midcap and Smallcap stocks has been appreciated by almost 240% and 300% respectively. But both the indices could not made a new high, both the indices recovered almost 80% of entire fall ( from Jan 2008 to Feb 2009).

If you are holding any smallcap or midcap stocks then please exit them if it goes below 10 days low.

If BSE Smallcap index closes below 8992 then it may test 6000-7000 levels once again.

If BSE midcap index closes below 7215 then it may test 5600-700 levels once again.

Its a 34 th Month from the all time high and 21st month from recent low (March 2009), so december month can be trend reversal. So be cautious in the market and keep tight stop loss orders.

Following sectors looking weak on charts:

Capital Goods, Power, PSU, Real Estate.

We may see profit booking in following sectors:

Banking, FMCG,Auto, Consumer Durables, Metals, Oil & Gas.

18950 for Sensex and 5690 for Nifty are crucial levels. If it goes below mentioned level on closing basis then that confirms the down trend. Happy Trading!!!!!!

Sell off in Nifty

Nifty has broken a major support of 5180 and sustained below that level, so as I mentioned earlier we must exit our long positions. Nifty broke its previous High (5344) and made a new high of 5398 but came down sharply from that level. We consider this as a false breakout as volumes were not much on breakout. But this is not the case in last week’s sell off. Nifty came down with good volumes and open interest was also increasing. Now any bounce back should be considered for exiting long positions.

Next week I am expecting nifty should take a support around 4930 and will give a bounce back from that level. Major resistance will come around 5130 and then around 5200. If nifty comes around 5200 one can go short with keeping stop loss above 5350.



Since last few months Nifty is making higher highs and higher lows but the momentum indicators are giving negative diversions which suggest this is just a bounce back of major sell off ( Sell off from 6300 to 2500). We will get the confirmation of major trend reversal only if Nifty makes lower low i.e. Nifty goes below 4667. If Nifty goes below 4667 then we may see a huge sell off in Nifty in next month or two. In that case Nifty may go down to 3700-3800 level which is the Gap yet to be filled on the chart.




To conclude, any bounce back must be used to exit long positions and go short around 5200 level with stop loss above 5350. Happy Trading!!!!!!!!!!!

Nifty Buy or Sell?????

In my previous blog I had given the targets for nifty for short term which achieved very fast. After that Nifty came up but it has started losing momentum. Nifty broke the recent high but volumes were very low, the same thing happened with Sensex. Now the question is that whether we should consider that as a breakout or not??? In my opinion breakout without volumes is very risky to trade. So let’s wait for Nifty to break its recent High (5344) to accumulate position once again.

Now the crucial support will come around 5245 and then 5180. If Nifty goes below 5180 that will confirm the break out was false breakout. But if Nifty sustains above 5344 then the next resistance will come around 5450-5500.

To conclude, put a stop loss below 5180 in Nifty and hold the long positions. If Nifty breaks 5180 then start exiting long positions. Happy trading!!!!!!!!!!!
