Week 25-29 august 2008

Market closed weak for the week and nifty touched level of 4250 level. As mentioned by in previous message market broke on the downside and closed to the level 4327. Market is still not out of woods as it enters in the expiry week of August 2008 series which expires on 28/08/2008. Market may find new range in the next week. Resistance for nifty for next week is revised to around 4393 level which is very crucial. On the downward side support exists at around 4165 level and it may not break in a hurry. But any negative news can dampen the market and nifty can fall upto 4050 level where strong support exists. Investors can start buying around these levels for short term. Stocks can give attractive returns from these levels. As mentioned last week banking, reality except auto stocks underperformed the overall market sentiments. Cairn India recovered from lower level of around 238.

Next week the market range will be 4165-4393 levels and market will try touch the level of 4165 being a lower band of the range. Next week there is no positive sector except bank (only if RBI does not take any action on rate hike front). Government is still sleeping on the inflation front and is proving how dormant it has. If government failed to control inflation then equities will not survive in the near term. Warfooting steps are required to control inflation and for that government has to compromise on the growth rate. If it is able to control inflation then growth at 5% can be even good which can provide good support for further development of indian market.

For next week market will be bearish and power and capital goods stocks will correct as NSG meet had proved inconclusive as we have mentioned in our most of the messages. Following stocks will be most weak next week.

Week 18-22 august 2008
Marketemained almost in the range mentioned of 4450-4600 with little breakout on the both the sides. Nifty went up at around 4650 and then sliped immediately. Nifty also broke the lower band and now had closed at 4430. Thus market will head start lower next week on the back of not so great cues on global front. Domestic developments will dominate market and fear of further rate hike / CRR hike will be on the minds of most of the traders. Market may open down on monday and may recover little bit and will fail to sustain the recovery and selling can come at higher levels. 4165 level is crucial from technical point of view. Traders should keep stop at around these level to avoid further losses. Next week banking, reality and auto stocks may face drubbing from traders. Metals may recover a bit but will succumb to the selling pressure and loose in the later part of the week. Cautious market with negative bias may weigh on the sentiments. Market also may face the negative rollovers to the next series of F&O. Thus further shorting may drag the stocks lower levels.
Cement, Oil, Mining, heavy goods sectors may outperform the market and may inch up.

Market had closed on 20/08/2008 on positive note but rally was lacking conviction as it was on the base of low volumes, This rally will fizzle out tommorow and on days to come and market will fall sharply towards 4165 nand then 4000 levels. Thus buying should be postponed to next week to avoid more losses.

Thus market must sustain above 4165. If it fails to remain above this level then it can head towards 3950 and then 3800-3850 levels where strong support exists.
