Market Voices - 20-02-09

Friday, 20 February 

It was a bad week for the Indian market that saw selling pressure at higher levels. Next week being a truncated week (Monday holiday) and F&O expiry on Thursday, some experts feel the market may outperform its global peers and head higher on the expectation of an interest rate cut by the RBI. This week's poor figures are: Sensex down 8.5% and Nifty down 7.3%. BSE Midcap index down 7.5%, BSE Smallcap index down 6.8% over the week. BSE Bankex index down up 14.5%, BSE Metal index down 11.5%, BSE Consumer Goods down 9.3% and BSE Oil & Gas index down 8%.  » Send to friends

The odds are that the market is looking weaker, says Salil Sharma of Kapoor & Sharma Company, on CNBC Awaaz. If Nifty closes below 2680 then it is headed lower to 2500, he says. The 2500 support is strong and crucial, if that is broken Nifty could be headed to 2200, he adds.

Dow Jones has touched its six-year low and is looking ugly today, says E Mathew, technical analyst, on CNBC TV18.

We are confident that any easing by central banks will support markets, says Roger Groebli of LGT Capital Management on CNBC TV18.

Market may have flat to negative opening today, says Ashwani Gujral, technical analyst, on CNBC TV18. He sees supports for Nifty at 2700-2730 and resistances at 2830-2860. He believes that the market may remain volatile today on account of the F&O expiry and uncertain global cues. This is a non-directional market and traders should write out of the money Index calls instead of trading in Index future, he advises. 

The Nifty is likely to be range-bound between 2700-3000 for the next few weeks, says Ambareesh Baliga of Karvy Stock Broking on CNBC TV18.

The intraday range for the Nifty is likely to be between the 2830 and 2740 levels, says Vijay Bhambwani, technical analyst, on CNBC TV18. The outlook for the markets today is that of cautious optimism as markets are trading on thin open interest and small amounts of buying may cause an upthrust, he adds. He advises ignoring big ticket exposure for now.
