Nifty Futures, post budget presentation of the Finance Minister experienced one of the biggest crashes in recent times. However to us this fall was not unexpected and if you had been reading our previous post we did expect the markets to come down to 5600 levels. After the huge fall all the perma-bulls have been frozen and bears are sniffing around having tasted fresh blood after many months. However, we have reason to believe that the markets may find support around the 5650 levels and this is going to be a very strong barrier for the bears to overcome before further bear hammering could be initiated.
If one were to take a look at the chart below its almost magical how the Nifty Futures fall was arrested at the confluence of a number of trend lines, technical patterns and fibonacci retracement levels. Of course this analysis is only in hindsight but the evidence of support is amazingly copy book style.
All these together have created a strong energy point around the lows and only if markets are able to sell off below these levels then a further fall would emanate.
Our proprietary short term oscillators are also indicating oversold conditions and the markets should put in a bounce or at least meander till Monday March 11, 2013 which is our energy cycle point for converting price to time. (Please note the vertical blue lines they were draw on the day of the fall and projected backwards in time to test the cycle and it has a margin of error of only 1 day for pin pointing the cycle high and lows !)
So from all the above we can conclude that markets could recoil until the next energy date which is March 11. As long as the price stays within the channel and does not rally out of the N-O trend line, markets can safely be assumed to be in a downtrend. However if prices were to break this trend line then Nifty Futures has potential to travel to the parallel line drawn from P. Further price should also stay below the 50% retracement level which comes around 5850 levels. In case the rally has legs it could also travel all the way towards the 62% level of 5900.
We will explore this trend projection further in our future posts.
It is true that we are in a vicious downtrend and going by the price damage that we have seen in the broader market it is quite likely that further down side cannot be ruled out. In fact in one of our previous post we had maintained that prices could go as low as 5500 before end of February.
While our time target was not achieved we still believe, based on Elliot Wave Theory, a terminal impulse is in the offing and should retrace all the way below 5500 latest by March 6, 2013. This scenario is still open and on the break of 5650 we could experience a free fall to 5550 levels. This would mean two days of triple digit losses. Lets see how the next couple of days play out.
Since the overall trend is down, we would refrain from buying any calls. Our strategy in case the up move plays out is to write 5900 calls. In case markets break below 5650 then we would initiate a bear put spread by buying 5600 puts and writing 5500 puts.
The spread could be initiated in a staggered manner. So if the markets start selling off, buy the 5600 put and when , if you monitor intraday hourly charts, markets look oversold initiate the put writing for 5500.
Despite continued heavy buying by FIIs and successful completion of many IPOs, the broader market has suffered heavy losses and since February 13, 2013 Nifty Futures have fallen very sharply
Analyst consensus earnings estimates on Nifty have also been marginally lowered to 383 (earlier 380) and 435 (440) for CY13 and CY14 respectively.
The 1 Year Forward P/E chart shows that Nifty has a tendency to move from one band to another and the green band of 12.6 FY13 earnings would suggest a Nifty Futures price of 4825. While the number is difficult to digest, who would have thought in the begining of February, when the markets were at 6100 odd levels and bulls were cheering for 6500 – 7000 levels, that the markets would reverse on a dime. We at Winning Trades were the few who successfully forecasted this sell off. In fact we have further bear designs on the future of price of Nifty which we will explore through our blog posts. Stay tuned
What is your view on the market direction? Do you expect the sell off to continue or you expect consolidation around present levels? We would love to hear your opinion on the same.

In this blog post we explore the impact of the Agusta helicopter scam on the Indian stock markets. Find out what NIfty is expected to do in the aftermath of the scam coming to light?
The glaring expose by the Time Now channel of the Agusta helicopter scam and the possibility of many political bigwigs in the ruling party being involved will be a big handicap to the Finance Minister P. Chidambaram’s plans for a full blown Dalal Street ‘bulls only party’. The sad part is that this expose will bring more questions than answers and like the coal scam and other scams before it will further impact decision making at the policy level. Beaurocrats and politicians will hit the go slow button which has the unintended consequences of damaging the economic revival and further negating fiscal consolidation.
Mind you this time the Agusta helicopter scam has fool proof evidence of bribes being paid and could crash the ruling party and its dreams for winning the 2014 elections. This is one scam the UPA would wish did not see the light of day. It has virtually opened up the Pandoras box. This could also mean lights out to the bulls party on the bourses. Probably this is the trigger that our Gann analysis of the markets Nifty Futures Sell Off to 5600 on Cards – A Technical View is discounting unconsciously.
Over the last five sessions the Nifty Futures have really held onto the 5880 – 5900 levels supported by the trend line MU. Yesterday it did try to rally but the very trendline XN which provided support the last few months, has now turned resistant and price drifted sharply away from it to 5880 where it has found support from the MU trendline and the 1×2 Gann angle plotted from G. However breakdown from these levels looks imminent and we have forecasted two short term targets based on Fibonacci retracements, price projection techniques and use of Gann angles.
Currently the global markets are experiencing a strong drift upwards due to liquidity and the Asian markets are also expected to rally sharply. Despite the strong global environment for equities we could be the contrarian market given the fact that we are the second most expensive market with low earnings growth expectations amongst the BRIC nations and developed markets. (Nifty Trading Strategy | Overview of Earnings, Valuations and Fund Flows )
We hope you had initiated shorts that we had recommended in our yesterday’s post. We had recommended on the break of 5920 and the markets ended a shade below 5900. We pat ourselves on getting the timing right as currently the market environment is very volatile and extremely difficult to trade. We are targeting 5835 and then 5760 – 5775 from current levels. In case you have bought 5900 Puts, we would suggest writing 5700 Puts during late market hours to protect against time value loss given the weekend holidays. However do not open up a ratio trade.
We would like our readers to bear in mind that the two targets provided are only short term halts on our projection of 5600 levels of Nifty on the downside.

Why no probe in India, because firm from Italy? BJP; NDA started deal, retorts Cong

Nifty Futures were sharply up intraday before giving up all its gains in the latter part of today’s trading session. The up move stalled around 5979 levels a shade higher than our expected level of resistance of 5960 – 5970 levels. We had written in our yesterday’s post Nifty Trading Strategy | Overview of Earnings, Valuations and Fund Flows that Nifty would face resistance from the down trending channel, the previous peaks and valleys around these levels and the 55 day MA.
In today’s trade a number of important technical observations were noticed
To the bulls we may seem biased, but the third factor is of importance to us as per the Gann school. Any support / resistance level if it remains broken for three consecutive days then the probability of the markets moving in the direction of the breakout increases.
Despite continued heavy FII purchases (+ Rs 800 crore) and tempered selling by the DIIs (Rs 289 crore), markets gave up all their gains. It proves my strong belief that markets cannot be bought simply on the might of liquidity. Price discovery is done at the margin and is the direct effect of who’s sway rules at the time of the margin trade. Only time will tell if the fund flow bulls would prevail or the sentiment bear traders in this tug of war.
Add to the already muddled politics another scam – this time the Augusta helicopter purchase deal– pertaining to kickbacks during the Congress regime going back to 2005. What is significant in this case is that the bribe giver has been arrested in Italy. So the question of bribe not being paid does not arise. In my opinion this will really nail the ruling party and cause untold damage to its brand. Let see how the story unfolds. But will FIIs stop buying because of this. Again a million dollar question as they have been buying Indian equities in the recent past at an unexpected pace.
Nifty options are also leaving some vital clues. At-the-money (ATM) 5900 Feb Puts OI is nearly 3x the ITM Feb 5900 calls. As per my theory, markets rise as the put call ratio rises but extreme reading serve as contrarian indicators. There is a possibility that the same is being signalled by the PCR ratio of the 5900 strike price. My interpretation is that in case markets sell off below 5855, at that price all the put writers will run like hell to cover and this could give credence to a violent downside move. We will find out over the next few days. On the other hand the activity at the 6000 strike price is normal and the interpretation is that 6035 would serve as a resistance level.
Summing up all the above we conclude that though markets were oversold, the recent 3 day side ways move has helped markets recover from being oversold. Despite the time relief and today’s price spike, Nifty Futures could not sustain and the weak closing is an indication of more downward price movement to follow. Recommended strategy is to initiate a naked Put purchase should Nifty Futures close below 5920.
So whats your take, will markets sell off or rally to everyone’s delight. Let us know through the poll app below.

Before discussing the impact of earnings, valuations and fund flows on the outlook for the direction of Nifty Futures, we would like to update our readers on the short term technical outlook for the markets.
Click this link to tweet, if you think the article is awesome ——> Awesome blogpost!
In our yesterday’s post Nifty Futures Trading strategy | Hold Shorts and Refrain from Option Writing , we had written that there was a possibility for an upward correction to ensue given the short term oversold market. The opportunity was provided by the disappointing IIP figures which provided the exact bear trap in a shallow market bereft of mass participation. Nifty Futures rallied and closed at 5941.40 (higher than our BUY trigger for aggressive players). Hope all the dare devils bought !
The upward correction is expected to continue for sometime and we expect extreme short term resistance around the 5960 – 5970 levels. The resistance comes from the confluence of the 55 day MA, trend line and upper boundary of the channel. In case the move, continues beyond those levels we could expect prices of 6010. So the bears should refrain from putting any short positions until further signals of weakness emanate. Meanwhile the joyous dare devils should continue to hold their long calls with stops around 5920.

In our weekend post Nifty Futures Sell Off to 5600 on Cards – A Technical View, we had examined the case for a bear market scenario. Today we will examine the outlook on Nifty Futures based on earnings growth, valuations and fund flows.
In the back drop of the political imbroglio, lowered savings and investment rate, deteriorating macro fundamentals and triple whammy of ballooning subsidy, sticky inflation coupled with high interest rates and dwindling exports, NIFTY earning are expected to grow at a single digit CAGR over the next couple of years.
While the honorable Finance Minister, P. Chidambaram has made a case for growth to return amidst fiscal tightening, we do not buy the story. We are of the opinion that things will only get worse unless the government acts with an iron will. Given the low enthusiasm levels of the present UPA government and policy paralysis we are more bearish than bullish. We would be happy to elucidate our reasoning for a bearish case but that would be subject matter of an entire different post.
In the aftermath of the Euro zone crisis, NIfty valuations had hit rock bottom in 2012. The depressed valuations provided a dream buying opportunity and FIIs made the most of it. However since the low of 4770 established in 2012, the markets have rebounded handsomely and currently NIFTY is trading at mean valuations.
Information is power. Empower fellow investors by sharing the above image on Twitter by clicking here
However when valuations are compared to global peers taking into consideration the earnings growth on a 2 year forward basis, Indian markets are not cheap and global markets provide far more compelling opportunities. Given our bearish stand on the growth outlook for the Indian markets, we believe the confidence is misplaced and sooner than later we expect this to correct.
Amongst the above peer set Nifty is the second most expensive market with moderate earnings growth over CY12-14
Spread the word about the high Nifty valuations in comparison to global markets. Tweet this link
Since the onset of CY13, FIIs have pumped in a record $ ~7 bn into the Indian equity markets yet the NIFTY returns are negligible. Part of the reason is heavy selling by DIIs coupled with huge FPOs both by the PSU undertakings and the private listed corporates.
Do you believe that the markets will correct sharply as we expect it to? We would be happy to hear your views in the comments section. Alternately you may participate in the poll below to share your view

Nifty Futures traded in an absolutely narrow range throughout the trading session before finally ending the day forming a harami pattern (inside day). In today’s post, we provide a sneak peak into our proprietary trading system. As per the system, the proprietary momentum and lead indicators are both pointing towards a possible short term reversal. Though they have not signaled any reversal of trend, there could be a small pause in the downtrend before it resumes again.
If you like the above chart please share the love by clicking to Tweet
Aggressive traders may initiate longs above Monday’s highs of 5937 with a stop of the low 5905. In case the market sells off below 5905 then reverse and go short. Given our longer term bearish forecast we continue to remain bearish and refrain from taking long positions.
Seasonality studies suggest that during the past three years, just about 3 weeks prior to the budget, the implied volatility, as measured by India VIX has always been in the mid twenties and stayed in just about the same range till the budget was presented. This year is marked by a stark contrast where the India VIX is oscillating in the 13-15 range, however it is showing signs of increasing. In anticipation of a spike given the historical precedent and the current low implied volatility, we recommend option buying strategies and would advice against any option writing.
As per the trading strategy recommended for the Nifty futures, above 5937 naked 5900 calls may be purchased in case markets rally. However if the markets resume the down trend 5900 puts may be purchased below 5905 levels.

Nifty Futures seem poised for a sell off after having advanced a hefty 1342 points from the early June 2012 lows of 4770 to 6112. In this blog post we outline the technical factors due to which this decline could ensue.
Nifty after forming a bottom at 4770 in early June 2012 has rallied sharply for nearly eight months on the back of global liquidity. The upward campaign has played out in a classical 3 forms (indicated by 1, 2 and 3 on the chart) as explained in Gann Theory. The Nifty Futures topped out at 6120 and since then we have seen a correction to this rally. The anecdotal evidence suggests that the market has topped out and we are in for a major decline that could see the market decline sharply to levels much lower than 5600.
While it is a fact that the whether a top is in place is only a matter of conjecture, certain price action since the high of 6120 strongly indicate so. For confirmation, we would require a price movement which is both faster in time and price than the largest of the previous three forms. This faster time and price targets are indicated by the boundaries of the green rectangle and suggest prices falling below 5500 before the end of February. Currently at the time of writing this blog post the market is at 5903, so only time will tell if this would pan out.
The technical support would incidently come from the 200 day MA, downward sloping Gann Angle line drawn from point M. and the continuation gap (July 2012) between between 5450 and 5550 levels.
The market has been in a slow free fall since the beginning of February and has taken support on the thick black trend line drawn from the higher bottom established in late July 2012. This is the fourth touch point on the trend line (see points a, b, c and d) and as per Gann’s Rule of 4, if this trend line is broken after 4 touch points it would mean further down sides. This trend line and the 55 day moving average (represented by the blue dashed line) along with minor penetrations has provided good support to the market in the past. However we have to remember that we are in the 4th touch point and there exists a very high probability of a break of trend line.
Another support indicator is the green coloured Gann Angle Lines. The third form which started from the point c, has largely stayed above the Gann 1×1 angle line (bold golden line). Once this line was broken, then as per Gann Angle Lines laws, market would seek support on the next angle, that is, the 1×2 angle line. Support from this line exists around the 5850 – 5875 levels. Minor support also comes from the black 2-M trend line at 5840.
So we have a confluence of the trend lines, 55 MA and the 1×2 Gann Angle Line providing short term support between 5840 and 5875. However the over powering force of the overall downtrend would eventually play out and overcome this short term support.
While we cannot rule out short term pull backs, we need to keep certain checks in mind which could provide evidence that the market might resume its up trend and nullify our forecast. As long as the market stays below the thick pink downward sloping 1×1 Gann Line, we can clearly assume that the down trend is intact. Even if the market breaks the 1×1 line on the upside it should not rally beyond 6110 – 6120 levels which is the 50% retracement level and one of Gann’s favorite indicators.
