From Support zone, Indian stock markets head to Resistance Zone - 28th May 2010

As cricketing experts say that "T20-T20 match is the game of momentum. The team that picks up the momentum is likely to win the match.". The analogy can be seen in stock markets as well. Two days back when markets were correcting, every expert on TV talked about further downtrend in the market. Various broking houses had suggested further fall of 10-15% in the markets. Now when markets have made a strong comeback, these voices have been toned down and few have now changed their stances, citing robust Indian economy as evergreen excuse :)

Though fundamentally, nothing much has changed for the equity markets. Indian economy will surely feel the heat of a slowdown in European economy. We also need to take care of infation levels which are too high, thus, probaibility of an Interest rate hike is high. The stocks are trading at high valuations which limit the further upside in the markets.

Technically too we are entering into strong resistance zone that starts from 5070 to 5300. In this resistance zone, there are several levels that will be difficult to break and hence, major upside from the current levels will surely be a slow and tedious task for the markets.

US financial markets have closed with 3% upside overnight and this will surely have a hangover effect on the Asian bourses. In India, we might see a gap-up opening after which we might see some consolidation happening in 5030-5070 levels (for Nifty). The first level of resistance can come in 5070-5105 levels. Once this is breached, the next level to watch out for is 5170-5200 which seems a big resistance zone.

Thus traders can adopt "Sell on Rise" strategy till Nifty breaches 5200 levels on the upside. On the downside, Nifty may find a support at 4930-4950. If this level is breached, then we might see markets heading to 4800 levels again.

June series are expected to be volatile as markets may try to find some direction for itself. Those who want to take a bit of risk may sell both Nifty 5100 Call and Nifty 4900 Put. This will give you premium of around 200 Rs. One may keep stop-loss for the strategy at 5325 on the upside and 4690 on the downside. One may book profits in it when combined premium for the strategy reduces to 80 Rs.

Wishing you a great trading day!!!
