GOOD MORNING!!!
MARKETS STARTED THE DAY ON A POSITIVE NOTE TRACKING THE ASIAN INDICES WHICH MOSTLY TRADED IN GREEN ZONE AS INVESTORS SHRUGGED OFF UNPLEASANT REPORTS OF YET ANOTHER ANTI-INFLATIONARY MOVE BY CHINA, INDICES WERE ENERGETIC AS LEADS FROM THE US REMAINED OPTIMISTIC. AFTER THE FLAT START THE BENCHMARKS CAPITALIZED ON THE INITIAL MOMENTUM ON THE BACK OF SUSTAINED BUYING ACROSS THE BOARD. HOWEVER, THE INDICES TOOK A SHARP U-TURN AFTER TOUCHING RESISTANCE LEVELS OF 5,920, MARKET PARTICIPANTS RESORTED TO BROAD BASED POSITION SQUARING ON THE BACK OF MOUNTING INFLATIONARY PRESSURE WHICH THEY FELT WILL FORCE RBI TO ADOPT MORE AGGRESSIVE STANCE IN ITS ANNUAL MONETARY POLICY REVIEW MEET ON MAY 3RD. ABSENCE OF SUPPORTIVE LEADS FROM THE MARKETS ACROSS THE GLOBE TOO DID NO GOOD FOR THE LOCAL SENTIMENTS. THE WILT IN INTERNATIONAL CRUDE OIL PRICES BECAUSE OF DEMAND SIDE WORRIES TOO WENT UNNOTICED AS INVESTORS CONTINUED TO BOOK PROFIT AND PUNISHED THE TECHNOLOGY BELLWETHER INFOSYS FOR THE SECOND STRAIGHT DAY FOR ITS DISAPPOINTING EARNINGS AND GUIDANCE FOR FY12. WHILE PROFIT BOOKING IN BANKING HEAVYWEIGHT STOCK LIKE HDFC BANK AHEAD OF ITS QUARTERLY EARNINGS ANNOUNCEMENT LATER IN THE DAY LED TO PROFIT BOOKING IN OTHER BANKING MAJORS AND WITH THE ABSENCE OF ANY SHORT COVERING RALLY, THE BOURSES CONTINUED THEIR FREEFALL ONLY TO SETTLE AROUND THE LOWER LOWS OF THE DAY THE BREADTH OF THE MARKET REMAINED NEGATIVE AND CLOSED MUCH BELOW THE SUPPORT LEVELS.
TODAY MARKETS WOULD OPEN NEGATIVE TRACKING THE GLOBAL CUES. IN THE LAST TRADING SESSION WE HAVE SEEN THAT NIFTY HAS BROKEN THE CRUCIAL SUPPORT WHERE NIFTY LIKELY TO TRAVEL DOWN TO 5660 LEVELS ON THE BROAD LINES. ON INTRADAY PERSPECTIVE IF NIFTY TRADES BELOW 5725 THEN LIKELY TO COME DOWN TO 5660 LEVELS AND BREAK BELOW 5660 WE WOULD TRAVEL DOWN TO 5630 LEVELS AND WE MAY TAKE MAJOR SUPPORT AT 5600 LEVELS IF NIFTY BREAKS DOWN 5630. ON THE FLIP SIDE IF NIFTY TRADES ABOVE 5760 ONE CAN TAKE LONG POSITION ON INTRADAY FRONT FOR A TARGET OF 5796 AND THEN BREAK ABOVE THAT POINT WOULD TAKE IT TO 5845. LAST DAY WE HAVE WITNESSED HUGE SELLING WITH GOOD VOLUMES SO ONE HAS TO BE CAUTIOUS TAKING LONG POSITIONS.
