No Respite From All Around Selling


Market opened on a flat note but saw huge selling immediately especially in stocks like Tata Motors whose monthly sales figures disappointed the markets in a big way. Yesterday’s gainers like Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank and SBI gave up all its gains. Weakness and heavy selling by FIIs in Tata Motors and Reliance broke the strong Nifty Support of 5425 and the market finally closed on a very weak note. The factors which are affecting the market in a big way are the macro concerns like interest rates, inflation figures and serious governance deficit which has weakened the sentiments in a very big way. ADAG stocks witnessed fresh bouts of selling as Reliance Infra closed below Rs.700 and Reliance Capital made an intraday breach of Rs.500. Titan made some brave attempts to rally but that too faced a lot of resistance around 3650 levels. The only stocks which showed some decent buying were HDFC and HDFC Bank.

There is very little one can do at this stage and hence it would be prudent to stay on sidelines. Bottom picking the market would be like catching a falling knife. Hence, we are of the view that one should not invest fresh money in the market till the time markets make a higher bottom at least on the hourly charts.

Nifty will now face strong resistance at 5450 and 5485 levels. It might find some support around 5350 levels and if this level is broken, the next important support lies only at 5295-5310 levels.
