Current technical positioning


1. CMP 401.45 (as of April 17, 2008 closing)

2. It had crashed from a high of Rs.625.8/- in January'08 to Rs.290/- in about a dozen trading sessions, but didn't stay at Rs.290/- for long. (There existed significant buying interest at the lower price). Thereafter it entered a trendless sideways movement.

3. It seems to have formed a lower base at 310 (without breaking 290), and has been steadily inching upwards.

4. It hasn't yet accomplished the first fibonacci retracement over the crash - typically 38% from the bottom yet. That works out to Rs.418/-.

5. Talking from a moving average perspective, it is just a tad below its 200 day moving average (of 403.72). This itself is to be crossed now, and it may act as a strong resistance.

Given (4) and (5), the stock may undergo a significant sell-off in the band of 403 through 418 resulting in some kind of a price correction.

A position trader or a long term investor may buy some quantity now keeping a stop loss at 360 (that's the immediate support available). Next support is at 310.

Or if it goes above 418 without relenting, it must be bought for immediate targets of 455 and 490

 

Ok the strategy for this week is 04/28/08

1. Keep Sl at the low of opening if the scrip opens above 425

2. Keep revising your SL

3. If scrips breaks 433 and trades for 15 mins buy for a target of 449 – 452 with strict stop loss of 433

4. Or sell at high with SL 453
