Last Week Analysis

With reference to last week forecast, I have mentioned that "Nifty technical levels suggests one more retesting towards 4800 level before powerful rally" which came exactly true last eek. Last week low point is 4796.10.

Last Week Low: 4796.10 (Refer to the strong support level 4800)

Cover your short positions aggresively and start accumulating your long positions

A good news for long term investors is they can take about 30%-50% of their investments into stock positions by going long. But do not expect a return in the short term. Currently it is on oversold condition, a nice rally is more likely. Try investing in high dividend stocks. If the market goes down further, you can again buy gradually with your remaining cash position.

Night might experience a double dip in Indian Market along with world market correction in the long term (about 2 years). With double dip, Nifty is expected to touch 2600 levels set on Oct 2008 and Mar 2009. Wait for some more time to get more clues on "double dip on Nifty"
