Last Week Analysis - Selling continued with Euro Zone volatility

Nifty was down by 3.72% in the last week. Selling pressure and volatilty is related with Euro zone news.

Go long on Indian T-Bills and INR. With respect to US long term treasury prices, TLT closed today at 116.73 which a loss of 1.63% for the week compared to last week close of 118.67. US treasury is too early to buy and too late to short. US treasuries (Ticker: TLT) would bottom near 100 - 103 and TLT is a good short position if it moves above 125.

Note: US Interest Rate Bottom retesting will happen again in the coming months.

Last Week Low: 4841.75
Last Week High: 5099.25

Nifty technical levels clearly suggest that hold and/or liquidate your short positions now. Because Nifty has got strong resistance level of 5050 and 5100. US treasuries went down significantly leaving the room to have another rally suggests that market will go down further with high volatility.

Note: Nifty is very risky to go long, eventhough it may have a false attempt to retest its 200 days EMA of 5334. Last week I asked to take short positions gradually with a ladder of orders. This week you can hold or liquidate short positions based on your risk rolerance. The next downside target for Nifty below 4500 and 4000. We may not reach this point directly. There might be many bear market rally and wild swings on the way.

If you are conservative investors, then exit from your long positions now and hold currency or indian T-Bills. The key support level for Nifty is 4747, 4639 and 4000. The key resistance level is 5400.0 and 5050, which is very much unlikely we will reach and go beyond this level. Nifty 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"
