Market Outlook - May 21, 2010

Wall Street loses quite a bit of ground at 10186 as we write this Market Outlook; there is still some trading left. Though it is off from the day’s low, it is still vulnerable for further fall having already lost more than 250 points over the last close. Poor jobless data and the ETF carnage paints a grim picture there. The ETFs Exchange Traded Funds) have become synonymous today with Exchange Traded Fear; the most to suffer there are ETFs meant for emerging markets.

The S&P 500 trades below both its 200-day exponential and simple moving averages located at 1102. This also caused a sell-off and is a cause for some panic. The SGX May Nifty closed at 4856 in the evening session with good volume.

Chances are we would see a gap down opening in the market today. However, the levels between 4900 and 4876 are expected to offer good support in case of any sell off, the SGX Nifty levels notwithstanding.

However, if the 4856 gets broken then we can expect 4839, 4828 and 4780 as significant support levels. If downtrend gathers momentum it could take the Nifty down to close to 4700 before the end of the May clearing next Thursday.

On the upside, 4970 – 4990 would give major resistance once the Nifty clears 4950. Above 5000, though a remote possibility in the short term, the levels between 5019 and 5035 might bring in a lot of supply pressure.
