Vision for next week: Stiff resistance 3950-3961-3970

Stiff resistance zone 3950-3961-3970

Target 3815
Buy 3900 put for 30-50 max, ltp was perhaps 60
Target 85-160
SL is price paid for put. If you can't risk the entire price paid for the put you are taking too big a position, downsize.

While i never mentioned an exit from the 3800 put earlier
I did mention to hedge at 3700-3570
You won't be making a loss on that position now thats for sure
Because when market approached 3700-3600 the 3600 puts would have been selling for the same amount that you paid for your 3800 put!!
If you got out with 2x profits gr8. If not well thats life.


3700 call reccomended at 100, target 200 hit. Half should be booked.
Remainder can be held for 3960 spot or 250-260 price of the call. Any position which is being held should be hedged by shorting 3900 call.

What kind of trader are you?

There are two kinds of traders
a) those who hunt rabbits
b) those who hunt elephants
The elephant hunter returns mostly empty handed and his children often go hungry.
The rabbit hunter, feeds his family three square meals regularly.
Occasionally, when the elephant hunter makes a kill, it is a feast for the entire village.
But in the long run , its the rabbit hunter who stands a better chance of success.
- From Alexander Elder's new book Entries and exits -

Watch infy results for next move

I still stand by 3900-3960 assessment
sl narrow = 3815 (updated)
sl wide for trend=3760
All levels mentioned here are nifty spot

Mini short trade from 385x sl 3875
did t3 till 3815

if market is strong we will not go under 3800
if market is weak max dip allowed 3766

Market will take its cue from infy results
if infy guidance is good 25-30% type of guidance
Then you can see a rally in IT
I would go with tcs/infy/wipro/satyam in that order
tcs+infy are very close to breakout levels
keep an eye on them tomorrow.
Midcap IT can also flare up if market likes infy results/guidance

Keep in mind slightly longer term view
bearish at 396x
if 0 discount is seen near resistance, would be ideal shorting opportunity.

break of 3900 can result in 30 pts discount reduction in nf
so risk/reward was appropriate for bulls near 3815 spot today
nf was at 3785

Lots of pharma stocks giving pullback trades to 13/21 ema
look to buy

Market needs to work off overbought condition on hourly charts near 3845-3857
Either by going sideways or down. Weak sideawys reaction target = 3821.
Retracement levels for reaction:
Retracements :3710.2-3856.75
0.236:3822.16 0.382:3800.77
0.5 :3783.48 0.618:3766.18

0.786:3741.56

So far 0.236 holding tiny sideways reaction till rising trendline. i.e trendline not even broken yet!!
A reaction till rising gap area 3760 would not damage the trend.
So my view is be a buyer at 3783-3766 if seen sl 3741.

Anything deeper below 3760 rising gap/0.618 would create fresh problems.

Black monday??

Every now and then people ask questions like black monday?
My favorite response : First you take me to the logical resistance level then we can have black , blue , orange, red monday :).
My logical res level reads 396x
(world will do 100% retracement/new highs we are weaker we will to 61.8-70% like in 2004)

After today's bashing the only one who is going to be black and blue are the bears

Starting tomorrow one should look to trade the short side of weak stocks
i.e longer term downward pressure but shorter term bounce backs
Try to go short on evidence of weakness on hourly charts.

Vision for this week: 3900-3971 region

We have done a complete gap fill in nifty spot
3760-3820 region
now i am sure lots of people are being bullish right now.
And I cannot disagree yet.
Weakness can come in only under the two rising gaps that we have.
If we go under that only then try shorting.
For now view is rising trend will continue on eod, only higher high/higher low expected
Target is 3900-3965 region

Vision: icarus flies into the sun, loses his wings and crashes
Translation to nifty, bulls will breakout (flying) , golden ratio 396x (sun) = resistance can potentially reverse.

The subconscious mind will often reflect what the conscious mind is thinking.
So in my case I already published this view of 3900-3971 and then a crash.
Just getting the same thing in my dreams.
Ever tried lucid dreaming? google for it.

Trying to climb a Slippery slope

Market is going to continue trying its upward journey
If world markets remain firm
Dow should retest old high
We could retest 0.618
3900+ next region to short.
3700 ish support.
Nf stops will probably get hit both ways but I suspect bulls will make more in the next week
Reccomended 3700 call for 100 target 200-250
With a hedge of short 3900 call for 30-70
depending on risk/reward appetite.


Vision=Slippery slope but sunny days ahead
5 lap race starting, weak stocks will fail after 3 legs up. stronger ones might even make new highs.
Weak=cement+auto, strong = pharma+IT
