Derivatives Daily Update: February 17, 2012


Moving Ahead: February 17, 2012

Nifty February Futures continued its upward journey and closed at 5589.60 up by 51.80 points. Bank Nifty too closed at 11122.60 up by 174.50 points. Volumes were higher than yesterday partly due to momentum and partly due to roll over in to new series. Open Interest in Nifty Futures across all the series saw an increase of 3.99 lakh shares. February future saw reduction of 17 lakh series and March series saw increase by nearly 20 lakh shares. Put Call Ratio was bit lower at 1.17. Volatility as measured by India VIX was 24.18 up by 4%. Dollar Rupee pair was trading flat at 49.37 with fairly no change. All in all momentum was good in the market and Nifty continued with its upward surge flawlessly.

I feel we are bang on target and Nifty almost reached its upward target of 5650 as I am being saying it from several days. It seems that momentum will continue and once we decisively close above 5650, Nifty may touch its all time high in near future. But mind you we are at inflection point which equally has a potential to reject upward momentum and start trading lower. My advice is to book some profit around this level and ride the bull momentum for rest of the positions.
