WEEKLY ASTRO TECHNICAL GUIDE FOR NIFTY

MONTHLY ASTRO RANGE...THE REFERENCE RANGE…. !!!

NIFTY :: 8201 (-24) (Consolidation Mode Likely … )

While Nifty closed nearly flat for the week erasing initial gains of the week due to derivative expiry concerns. Derivative series closed negative, one of the few instances in 2014. Parliament session ended without transacting any major business. However, Government’s resolve towards reforms was evident with the promulgation of ordinances on Coal and Insurance.  State Election results were also in line with general expectations. New Derivative series started off on  a  cautious note and would be influenced by corporate results and the reform measures of the Government. Last week’s movement was rather erratic with Nifty closing above 8300 and then closed below 8200 due to derivative expiry pressures. Macro economic scenario continues to be positive with falling crude oil prices but strengthening US $ / depreciating INR is a cause for worry. Next major policy would be the Budget / GST / Reform Process of the Government. Most of the unfinished items on reform agenda have been attended to by the Government and the it would take time to yield the results.

Nifty’s chart pattern suggests selling at higher levels and might not make new high with out possible further downside. If Nifty closes below 8100, downside would be confirmed. On the upside 8350 to 8400 could prove to be a major hurdle to cross.

20DMA, 50DMA, 100DMA and 200 DMA are placed at about 8330, 8265, 8095 and 7590 respectively and would

act as supports / resistances. Nifty is below 50 and 20 DMA and is above 100DMA and could offer support. If 100 DMA is clearly breached, it could slide further deeply.

Nifty continues to be above 200 DMA and 50 DMA too is above 200 DMA (Golden Cross) suggesting that the

long term bullish trend is intact.   Nifty is quoting at a PE of about 21 which is about 17% above the

long term PE multiple.  Further fall to about 20PE would make it attractive (During December  it touched about 20.35PE) . TTM EPS and  PE would improve after Q3 results.  Psu Banks seem to be enjoying high degree of margin of safety and qualify for a Value Buy as market can not complete its bull run with out the participation of this sector.  Policy initiatives might improve sagging Infra and Realty sectors.

Strong long term support would be around 7600

level and Medium term support is 8100.

Breakout level for the week is 8420,  and break down level for the week is 8090.

Advice for Traders ::

Usually new derivative series begins with optimism which appeared to be missing due to holiday season. Market seems to be favouring PSU Bank because of their margin of safety. Nifty is in a neutral zone and a close above 8300 or close below 8100 would provide further direction.

Further , Weekly Open level is very important for the entire week.
Short positions may be avoided as long as it maintains / closes above
Weekly open and vice versa
