Global
cues bring Domestic Rally
A joyful life is
an individual creation that cannot be copied from a recipe.
The market has seen a joyful run in recent series. A
healthy correction is long awaited. Global cues today are subdued and that need
not bring in any meaningful fall. So far, sector rotation and follow-on buying
have kept the market in good cheer. This week will see the market react to Q4
GDP numbers and infrastructure output for January. The outlook is a weak start.
RIL could help reduce the losses on the main indices. The F&O rollover was
encouraging as market wide rollover of Nifty contracts to March series stood at
73 pc as against an average of less than 70 pc in the last three series. HPCL
could see action on reports that ONGC could take control of it as part of the
governments plan to create an integrated public
sector oil entity. FPI activity has resumed as overseas investors put in over
Rs. 14,600 crore into the Indian market in Feb investing Rs 9,359 crore in
equities and another Rs 5,279 crore in the debt segment.

Technical Track
Nifty made new 52-week high on Friday but gave a close
below previous peak (8969) at 8940. Currently index is trading within the
three-digit gann channel i.e. 8860-8910 wherein, multiple gann pressure points
are observed. Failure to break above 9010 could see Nifty beginning a
corrective move in the form of rangebound consolidation. As per Gann analysis,
this week is an anniversary period where index formed a major bottom of 6826 on
29th Feb 2016. According to Gann, anniversary dates more often results in the
formation of tops and bottoms (either minor or significant). A year earlier
around the same time period (i.e. 4th March 2015), Nifty had made a top of
9119. So after a rally of ~14% from the midpoint i.e. 7894 of entire move of
6825 to 8969, Nifty is hovering close to its all-time high level, wherein
multiple supply points are found. So risk reward ratio for creating fresh longs
are not favorable.
