Trading tips for the week February 1 2016 to February 5 2016

As the Nifty was able to conquer the resistance of 7446, specified in our previous weekly post, and managed to close above it, it may be presumed that an intermediate bottom has been made at 7241.5. A glimmer of hope has started to sparkle for bulls if Nifty sustains above the immediate support of 7520 in which case the resistances will be at 7754, and 7980. However, if the support of 7520 gets broken then the next supports are at 7468 and 7369.

The intra-day traders may go long if the nifty stays above 7514 and book profit at 7616. Otherwise they may play it on the short side to book profit at 7475.

The short term traders may go long with stop loss at 7365 for a possible target of 7685.

The mid term investors may consider buying Goldman Sachs Nifty ETF at 746.31, Asian Paints at 865.11 and 847.35 and LIC Housing at 465.35.

Trading tips for the week January 25 2016 to January 29 2016

Just as we had expected in our previous weekly post, the Nifty did go volatile with negative bias going to as low as 7241.50. The nifty will face immediate resistance at 7466 which if conquered then it may be construed that an intermediate bottom has already been made and Nifty will aim towards higher resistances at 7693 and 8094. 

On the flip side the immediate support is at 7314 which if broken then the bearish trend may sustain a bit more till it touches 7150.

It may however be kept in mind that the settlement of January F&O series is on 28 January 2016 which might bring about a lot of uncertainty this week and one may utilize this to take positions in February series.

It may also be remembered that this will be a truncated week on account of holiday on 26 January 2016, being Independence Day.

That being said the intraday traders may trade it on the long side with stop loss at 7390 to unwind the longs at 7466. If the Nifty trades below 7390 then they may short the nifty to cover it at 7320.

The short-term traders may form long positions in the February series with stop loss at 7300.

The mid-term investors may consider buying Asian Paints at 844.15 and Goldman Sachs Nifty ETF at 742.26.

Trading tips for the week January 18 2016 to January 22 2016

The market did behave very much in expected lines as we had indicated in our previous post that the Nifty after an initial upside will go down. We expect the Nifty to behave very much like it did through out the last week as we had written in the previous weekly post albeit that it might my turn a wee bit more volatile and show more of a downwards bias.

The nifty will have to conquer the immediate resistance of 7538 above which the Nifty will face resistances at 7764 and 7990. On the downside the supports are at 7458 and 7150. As of now there are no signs of the selling pressure relenting.

The intra-day traders may consider going long in the opening trades to book profit at 7475. However, unless it trades above 7580, they may short the index to book profit at 7406.

The short-term traders may continue to play on the short side to book profits at 7458. However, if it trades firmly above 7540, they may go long to play it till 7665.

The mid term investors may consider buying Asian Paints at 850.60 and 833.05, HDFC Bank at 1033.15 and 1013.15, LIC Housing at 440.75, Lupin at 1657.10, Goldman Sachs Nifty ETF at 747.16 and Zee at 399.35.

Trading tips for January 15 2016

The Nifty is showing a bit of upside which looks like it will sustain and maybe show a bit of upside. Although it will cover down towards the end of trade anyway even if it goes up. But certain signals are indicating that even if we have not hit the intermediate bottom, we are facing an impending bottom which seems here abouts. Otherwise we are suddenly bullish on the Nifty and the whole market in general.

The Nifty will go up north if it trades above the  7533 upto 7613. However if it trades below 7530 then we see a new bottom, which, although seems a bit unlikely at this juncture.

The intra-day investors may go long if the Nifty trades above 7535 and unwind their longs around 7610. However if the index trades below 7520 then they may short the Nifty to cover it at 7576.

The mid term traders may go long in Nifty with stop loss at 7495 to ride it nimble footed till 7469.

The long term traders may consider buying Nifty at 751.85, Asian paints at 851.27, Lupin at 1657.10 and Zee at 399.30.
