Expiry day tomorrow and as always it’s a day the market gets dominated by Option players adjusting inventory than by technicals etc. We still have a plan though based on the current auction and will let OrderFlow guide us into it.
In the Paras below you will find my daily plan for the day at the bottom with weekly support and resistance levels updated on the spot and the medium term auction. It’s a view on 3 different timeframes and the interplay working out real time is a traders delight.
Nifty MAR F  |
| Background / Previous Auctions :
Medium Term : On Friday May 16th 2014, we saw a range of 7560- 7125 (spot prices) and we believe it forms the backdrop of the moves we may see in the Nifty for a considerable amount of time, as it was a 5 sigma event.The auction remains positive as long as we close above the highs of that day (May16).There was a failed auction noted at the lows on 17/10 at 7723 which is a reference point and support line for the future.
At the end of Dec 2014 we had reason to believe the the long auction in the medium term which started at 5920 early in 2014 may be consolidating for some time. However the Jan auction of 2015 shows that the move has not terminated yet and we are still looking at 10400- 10800 targets as long as we stay above 8200 now.
(Update 08/03/15)
Post the RBI surprise the Nifty attempted 9119 just short of the 9156 estimate but failed to sustain above 9036 in the closing hour. The long liquidation which followed changed the short extreme short term and the market will have to dip lower to meet new buyers.
(Update 15/03/15) The Market closed below the Feb series vwap of 8750 on the weekly. This means the path of least resistance now for the market is to 8473 spot which is the Jan series vwap.
Weekly levels : (first updated 22/03)
(On spot prices) For the coming week supply should be seen at 8669 and higher at 8722- 8754 spot which is resistance 2. The Outlook remains down till 8756 is not taken out on closing basis.
The Nifty closed on friday at the 8570 Minor support. We are 100 points away from the major support of 8473 which was our preferred route of the auction on the daily close below 8750 spot.
For the coming week we see 8510 and 8473 as the 2 major supports.
