Crystal ball gazing

If Nifty has completed the decline from the high of 6142, there can be a retracement to this move starting tomorrow or Friday.

This retracement is expected to go towards 5940-5960 or 6010 – 6035, from where the downtrend can start all over again.

How does one trade the next downtrend if it starts – Options charts will provide the answer !

If 6050 is not crossed, I expect the next downward target to be below 5500.

Nifty was all over the place, but this behaved

The 5900 (PE + CE) - short near 95 trade went all the way to 57 by close today.

Watch 40-45 tomorrow, from where it can bounce, and below that 20-25.

Generally, this bounces from 20-25 in the last hour before expiry.Watch out !

How basic TA works even on Options charts

I had posted this chart on 18th September for a possible trade in Sep 5900 PE here .

It is a different story that the market gapped up and the Put gapped down.

The updated chart of this Put is shown below, and it proves how old supports become

resistances.

Potential multi-bagger trades in October Options (aka lottery)

The market has got sold off after the RBI policy in 2 days, and now on hourly charts
looks oversold.
A bounce can come in Nifty and this can be traded (with sl below 65)

One for the bulls

Earlier today, I came across an article comparing the chart of Sensex with that of the South African Index.
Both shown below:


south-africa-all-share-index

Sensex_monthly_2209
At first sight, both look very similar, and bulls can hope that the Indian market does what the South
African market has done.
However, one needs to also keep in mind the following 2 charts – those of the respective
currencies against the USD, and in my opinion, there lies the difference.
ZAR

INR
I conclude from the above, that as long as INR is behaving the way it is, and as long as Sensex is below the
all time high, the risk: reward ratio at this stage is in favour of the bears than the bulls.

A quiz

Guess this stock – the DAILY chart somewhat resembles the map of India.
Post answers in comments.

Tata Motors update – Hai himmat ?

I had posted a monthly chart of Tata Motors on 12th September.

For anyone who believes this chart, now is the RIGHT time to take the positional short,

with stop loss on monthly closing above the long term trend line.

Hai himmat?

Know your R:R before RR presents his first policy on Friday

Since a big event is approaching, it is necessary that short term traders keep an eye on the R: R

(risk: reward) before RR speaks.

An attempt:

Since the low of 5118 on 28th August, Nifty has given a fast and ferocious rally to

5957 in just 3 weeks.

Lot of traders either missed the rally completely (which is not a problem), but were

attempting shorts on any weakness seen on 1 min or 5 min charts.

Media can give this rally any name – the RR rally or the Ganpati rally, the fact is Nifty was at a major support.

The D-day is approaching---Now what? Those who missed the rally, are desperately looking for reasons to go short.

A study of the Options data for September reveals that a ‘top’ might not be so close as some think although a ‘top’

for this expiry might be approaching.

As seen from the following chart, although there seems to be a resistance from the CE writers at 6000 strike price,

the Put writers have created positions at almost every strike price.

One extremely important observation is that the highest OI in Calls or Puts for a particular strike price which normally

tends to go above 90 lakhs or even 1 crore, is just around 60 lakhs in the current expiry period.

 

Chart showing OI at various strike prices:

 

Nifty_CE_PE_OI_1809

 

The PCR (Put-Call ratio) at individual strike prices also reveals that resistance lies ahead,

since the PCR at 6000 isjust 0.26, although the PCR at 5900 has been steadily increasing

and is now 0.99.

Chart showing PCR at various strike prices:

 

PCR_1809

Thus in the even of any sharp rise post Fed or post – RBI policy, watch the band

70-75 in the 5900 PE for further direction (chart below).

 

Nifty_5900PE_1809

 

If the premium for the Put reaches that band and the PCR at 5900 has stopped rising

and that at 6000 is not rising, THAT might be the TOP at least for this expiry,

and one can buy the 5900 Put with a stop loss of say Rs. 10.

However, if the PCR at 5900 and 6000 keeps rising, and the above levels are broken

on the 5900 PE, a sharp spike cannotbe ruled out.

As of now, expiry seems to be nearer 5800 (or even below) than 6000.

More updates in Live markets as we go ahead………

Please do comment on the posts.

Happy trading………

Longs caution

Although Nifty made new highs, 5600 (below) and almost all CEs of other

strike prices did not make new highs.

Caution in longs now. Nifty can pullback, and the 5500 PE posted last evening

can come into play.

A Raghuram rally or Lord Ganesha rally coming?

 

Although the market is in a sell mode on all time frames,

Nifty is flirting around the 200 weekly MA. This made me

take a look at what had happened when Nifty was near the

200 weekly MA the last time, and the results are given below :

(Fundamentals can be debated, but charts cannot be ignored)

 

Nifty took support at the 200 weekly MA first in December 2011,

when it rallied 24% from a low of 4531 to 5629, and then

fell back to the 200 weekly MA.

 

INTERESTINGLY, in the last week of May 2012, Nifty made hammers

on 2 consecutive weeks but again came down in the third week

(something similar to what is happening now). The next week,

after making a low of 4770, it rallied over 30% to 6229.

 

WEEKLY CHART:

 

  Nifty_weekly_Sept2012

The only time Nifty went well below the 200 weekly MA was in

October 2008, when it just sliced through the important support.

The pattern on hourly charts is also very similar, as shown below:

HOURLY CHART IN DECEMEBR 2011 :

Nifty_Dec2011_hrly

 

HOURLY CHART IN JUNE 2012 :

 

Nifty_June2012_hrly

 

CURRENT HOURLY CHART (SEPTEMBER 2013) :

 

Nifty_Sept2013_hrly

This post is not at all about ‘bottom fishing’, but one needs to

keep an on the first signs of reversal.

Who knows, a 15-20% rally might be round the corner.

Going by history, a rally is possible, let people call it the Raghuram rally,

or the Lord Ganesha rally !!
