Market Takes a Breather, But Will It Reverse From Here ?
If you were a Nifty futures trader, almost nothing of any significance happened in the markets on Monday. In fact, the market took a breather on Monday lead by the pivotals, after falling 200 points in just two and a half hours of trading on last Friday. Nifty futures opened at 5640, slightly below the previous close on Monday. But after establishing a low of 5629, which is just above the 200 DMA levels, the futures contracts remained in a comparatively narrow trading range for the entire trading day. Nifty futures established an intra-day high of 5705, but the close was at 5660. However, most stocks continued their down moves on Monday as indicated by the very negative advance decline numbers.
Nifty Futures - Intra-day Chart
Nifty Futures - Daily Chart
The day long flat trading has resulted in to the formation of an inverted hammer candle in the daily chart of Nifty futures. The daily charts of Nifty and BSE Sensex indices are also showing doji model candles for the day. An inverted hammer candle can indicate either a pause or a support, from where a minor or major reversals may occur. However, any such a reversal requires further confirmation by way of market action in the coming days. Since the technical position of the market has not changed except for the aforesaid, traders may still use the support and resistance levels already indicated in the previous post ( and quoted below ) for the purpose of intra-day analysis and trading.
"Some interim supports for Nifty futures are available at the following levels. The reasons for selecting these levels as supports are also given against the levels :
( a ) 5600 - 200 Day Moving Average or DMA,
( b ) 5550 - the previous high before the channel breakout,
( c ) 5450 - the middle of the previous 200 point trading range before the breakout and
( d ) 5350 - the lower boundary of the previous trading range mentioned in ( c).
The immediate higher resistances are at 5725, 5775 and 5865 levels."
Nifty Options Scene
The January series Nifty options Put Call ratio improved slightly to a still bearish looking 0.73 times as on 17th January 2011. Following the range bound trading on Monday, the India VIX decreased to 23.57, losing 1.01 %. Significant additions to the January Call options ( or call writing ) were seen at the 5700 strike. The highest number of Nifty Call option OI is still at the 6200 strike. Some additions to Put option OI were seen at the 5400 and 5500 strikes. The highest open interest ( OI ) of Put options has remained at the 5600 strike as on Friday. This option OI data seems to suggest that the previously indicated move down to the 5600 strike is still on for now.
