NIFTY ACHIEVES 7840 TARGET; STAY SHORT WITH THE STOP LOSS OF 8020

AT HOME

After a big gap down opening of more than 2% on the back of unexpected Bihar election results, benchmark indices recouped quite a bit of the lost ground through the session to end lower by just half a percent.

OUTLOOK

China's October CPI has come in at 1.3%, missing the estimate of 1.5%. PPI has come in at -5.9%, the expected figure being -5.8%.

Asian markets are trading with cuts in the vicinity of a percent and SGX Nifty is suggesting about 60 points lower opening for our market.

Readers would recall that ever since Nifty broke 38.2% retracement level as well as the lower band of bollinger placed at 8030, we had been working with downside target of 7840, which is the 61.8% retracement level of the entire 7540-8336 upmove.

The benchmark opened with a big gap down and touched a low of 7772 in the initial trade before recovering quite a bit to close at 7915, achieving the 7840 target mentioned above and vindicating our view. 

A breach of 7840, on closing basis, would open up the possibility of the retesting of the 7540 bottom made in early September.

Immediate resistance on the hourly chart is placed at 8020, with the stop loss of which trading shorts should be held on to.
