Do or Die Week

Friday was fun..Finally a good day for da bools :-) And about time too...

Some bears would have gotten clobbered on Friday...What next?...Its the end of the week, so lets look at weekly chart below...One thing...I have mentioned how important this is before...Stochastics crossover on the weekly...One of the best bottom spotters in my book....The only problem is this next week is one filled with external news events...No need to tell anyone what it is...Tuesday will be very important for our markets...

I was thinking we get one more low..maybe a higher one..but market had other ideas it seems...

For now, for the bulls, the stop is around 4050(tight stop), 3960-3920 levels is the final stop to keep the bull case alive...Dont be long below 3920...This the line in the sand for me...After 4050 ofcourse...

I have a straddle strategy in options to profit either way...let us see if it works! :)

If the govt does NOT fall, a super bear rally to the top of the channel will happen...approx 4500 will come...So much depends on this that it makes some sense to sit out of the market or gutsy players can try some option strategies...to profit either way...

Have a good trading week.

One More Low?

Past few days market action has been cautiously bullish...lot of it on short covering...Actual buying has been missing in this market...Everyone and their uncle is bearish now..Maybe we need to start being bullish...albeit very slowly...

I see possibility of one more low...possibly a lower low at around 3650-3700...I will also be happy with a higher low...Before we lauch into an intermediate term rally of maybe 1-2 months...After which there is more carnage on the cards...So this is still a traders market...Keep that in mind...If trading on the long side, its been very tough to hold on to gains..Trends change almost immediately and without much warning...The short side has been easier to play...Lots of time to cover etc etc...Character change in the market...We need to watch for this to change...

Some positives and bullish signals exist on the charts..We can see an exhaustion of selling..However buyers seem to be on strike...But when they come back, we can see some quickfire upside...

Why do I say one more low?...Because the wave structure is suggesting that...Again I will be happy with a low at 3800 also...Ideal will be 3650 to get long aggresively...


So to sum up I am bearish very short term...medium term cautiously bullish...long term clearly bearish... :)

Daily chart below...You can see the lines of importance in here...These will be in play over next few days...Looks like we are going to play within this channel for a pretty long time!

Rangebound...For NOW...

3 lines (and a bearish flag) defining the market now..It needs to breakout or down to begin some moves...

US market action today looked like it was hammering out a bottom...Todays lows will be very important.

In our mkt, some stocks interesting on the long side are asian electronics and selan exp...Check it out...

General market looks rangebound only...Either the flag needs to breakdown conclusively and target 3850 and lower toward 3620 area...OR we need to breakout above 4220 and rocket upward...Market might be waiting to see the results of the govt confidence motion...If govt does not fall, we can see a rocket move upward...However this wave is turning out to be quite difficult to play...Play the lines as shown above.

Best.
