Derivatives Daily Update: August 24 2012


Profit Booking Day: August 24, 2012

Nifty Futures closed at 5402.70 down by 24.45 points. Bank Nifty closed at 10366.95 down by 116.20 points. Open Interest in Nifty across all the series almost unchanged at 2.94 Cr shares. Turnover too was almost unchanged at Rs 1.29 trillion. Put Call Ratio was also unchanged at 1.22. Even Volatility as measured by India VIX was almost unchanged at 16.16. Dollar Rupee pair was trading slightly higher at 55.49. In all it was a eventless day and witnessed some amount of day trading activity with marginal negative bias.

In my opinion, Nifty is consolidating after continuous winning streak from last couple of weeks. Today after many days we saw lower top lower bottom formation which indicates some profit booking at higher levels or alternatively no new buying coming at higher levels. As traders didn’t saw further follow up in buying interest they squared off their positions. I still believe that as long as we remain above 5300, target price of 5500 and 5630 are achievable. Only worry is VIX. If it starts moving up we might witness pressure on Nifty and before touching targets on upper side, we might go and test 5300. Traders are advised to remain cautious and trade with strict stop loss.

Happy Trading
