Market Outlook - May 27, 2010

Despite good cues like 15% increase in New Home Sales and 2.9% jump in Durable Goods Sales, the Wall Street was on a snapback mode losing 69 points over its previous session at the close. The Nasdaq fell by 15 points and the S&P 500 sacrificed six points over the last close. Japanese shares suffer broad losses, as we write this Market Outlook, taking their cues from Wall Street. Asia is bit wobbly this morning.

It is the derivatives settlement day of the month. The SGX May and June Nifty contracts are both trading lower at 4890 and 4878 respectively on good volumes. The short covering rally of yesterday now may give in on the back of weak global cues. Today, we expect a slide again in the market. This would be confirmed if the Nifty fails to stay above 4898. However, all may not be immediately lost for the bulls till such time 4839 is breached on the downside again.

Major support levels are located at 4780 and 4732 in case a fresh slide begins to take it down below the last low at 4786. What we envisage is that even if there is a pullback to close to 5000 levels for the Nifty the next leg of the downtrend would be fairly severe after that pullback and it would snapback Nifty to test 4675 or even 4539 in June.

Thus, we would not like to recommend going long in this market other than may be participating in intraday rallies and that too if you are nimble footed.

On the upside, today, above 4918-a resistance level-the zone around 4943 would most likely bring in fresh supplies. However, liquidate all long positions and all short term long positions whenever-either today or in the near term-the Nifty moves up to the range between above 4974 and 4994. It is very unlikely to sustain above 5000 in any rally now. Press sales and come out of the market for it might fall considerably and this current rally is just a pullback.

Notes:
* All prices relate to the NSE, unless otherwise mentioned.

Stop-loss levels are given so that there is a level below/above, which the market will tell us that the call has gone wrong. Stop-loss is an essential risk control mechanism; it should always be there.

*

Book, at least, part profits when the prices reach their targets; if you continue to hold on to positions then use trailing stops to lock in your profits.

*

Don't chase a stock, if you are unable to buy a stock because it hits circuit levels on successive days, don't buy that.

* The analyst and his clients may or may not have positions in the securities mentioned above.
*
