Nifty Heavy Weight Stocks Also Turn Losers !
It was reported in some of the previous posts that market lacked volumes at just above the 6000 mark of the Nifty Index. It seemed that trading at the recent top was very sluggish and lacked enthusiasm. It was also opined that Nifty future may try to move out of the narrow range in the early part of the week. The last two posts also reported that market internals, as seen by the advance decline ratio, seemed to be very negative and traders may exercise caution. It was also stated that a reentry in to long position is not advisable because of added risk. The Nifty heavyweights seemed to be unaffected by the overall negative market mood on the back of the new found strength in the oil and other commodity stocks. Even though Nifty future was expected to test the 6030 level as indicated in the previous post, finally, the prevailing negative mood caught up with the Nifty heavy weight stocks too, on Wednesday. By the time market opened on Wednesday, the late positive momentum of previous day seemed to have been vanished in to thin air. Nifty futures opened some 35 points below the last traded price because of the negative indications. The open remained as the day's high and the morning session's trading was mostly centered around the 5940 reference rate.

Nifty Futures - Daily Chart
The above daily chart shows that Nifty future has already formed a lower low and it might be forming another lower high too. However, market may yet form a higher low and reverse from there. Nifty future has lower supports at 5860 and 5750 levels. The 100 DMA of Nifty future has moved up in the meanwhile and is presently at the 5830 level. The important reference levels for Thursday's trading are 5830, 5860, 5900, 5940, 5990 and 6030. Traders may note that all these reference levels have some relation to the previous trading action.
Nifty Option Scene
The Put Call Ratio ( PCR ) of December series Nifty options has deteriorated significantly to 1.13 as on Wednesday. Significant call writing to the extent of 16 lakhs was seen at the 6000 strike. The 6100 and 6200 strikes also saw call writing to the tune of 7 lakhs each. However, Put open interest ( OI ) decreased by 7, 7.5, and 3.2 lakhs at the 6000, 5900 and 5800 strikes respectively, indicating covering by the writers or profit booking by the buyers. Some additions to the Put OI were seen at the lower strikes at 5700 and 5600. The lower PCR might be indicating further weakness in the market.
Nifty Trailing Fundamentals
The trailing valuation of Nifty index too decreased a bit on Wednesday. The trailing Price Earnings Ratio ( PE Ratio ), Price to Book Value ( PB Ratio ) and Dividend Yield ( DY Ratio ) of the Nifty Index were at 23.53, 3.72 and 1.05 as on 8th December 2010. Readers may please note that the periods in which the trailing PE Ratio of the Nifty index persistently stayed above the 25 mark were limited to just two occasions in the years 2000 and 2007-08. And both these periods coincided with the highs or bubble periods just before the burst of the then bull markets.
