In tune with expectations, market gained under 4 per cent as bank stocks gained smartly to New RBI Governor’s measures and INR too gained strength. (It was mentioned earlier in this column that market could turn positive, as the new RBI Governor expected to bring harmony between RBI and govt and with the liberal policies). As Bank stocks were beaten, they rebound swiftly on the announcement of reform measures.

Technically, a double hammer in weekly chart had its impact as Nifty rallied smartly considering the prevailing pessimism. Since Nifty is trading above the key resistance level of 5555, it would continue to be bullish as long as the level holds and short term bearishness would once again set in when Nifty closes below 5555 for couple of days. 50 and 200 DMA also act as major resistance. Technically, INR has limited scope for appreciation and when it starts becoming weak, a new low 69/70 too cannot be ruled out technically. Hence, be watchful about USD INR movement. FIIs too might not enter market in a big way unless currency situation improves. And being a pre-election year populist policies would be viewed negatively by market. Nifty is bearish for medium and long term as long as it trades below 200 DMA. Short term downtrend would be confirmed on one more closes below 5550.

For the coming week, Nifty spot is expected to face resistance at 5760, 5840, 5915 and find support at 5600, 5520, 5440. Nifty presently in Short term bullish would get into short term bearishness only if it closes below 5550.
