Buy Recommendations For May Futures Given Yesterday

I had recommended buy prices for 3 scrips in May Futures contract in this post Banks on Swing - Buy Good News And make Money

Out of these 3 recommendations, 2 scrips of May Futures could be bought at their recommended price. These are :-

1. Albk bought at 58. It closed today at 59.2
2. Bankbaroda bought at 159. It closed today at 159.75

Mood of Market - What to Plan For?

Nifty should open in slightly down today. I am tempted to announce so because, as of this moment :

• SGX Nifty is down by 10 points
• Asian markets is mostly down
• Oil is slightly down

On last Friday Nifty closed  at 7899, down 12 points. Nifty is on a bullish run. But if Nifty moves further down, then it will find support at 7800. I had mentioned about this in my earlier post. Check it here. This is what I had mentioned in the post:-

"Worst case scenario for Nifty is that it can drift down to 7800. There Nifty should find support in today's trade."

"However if Nifty opens with a Gap-up above 7950, then it will be a very positive signal. Nifty will keep moving higher in such scenario. Further, if Nifty closes above 8000 today, then we can safely assume that it is headed to 8300."

Both the above mentioned conditions are still relevant for trade today. So keep these two points in mind while trading today.

Call-to-Action

We have 4 open long positions of Apr Futures. In these scrips, take following actions in trade today :-

1. IDBI Apr Fut to be sold at 73/73.5 if it does not open with strong gap up. It was bought at 71 and initial target given was 80.
2. BANKINDIA Apr Fut to be sold at 99/99.5 if it does not open with strong gap up. It was bought at 98 and initial target given was 120.

Banks on Swing - Buy Good News And Make Money

Asset Quality Review of Banks by RBI

Asset Quality Review (AQR).
Herein lies the good news for Banks. Understand this factor of AQR as I explain in succeeding paragraphs. Once fully understood, you can take a decision whether you should seize this opportunity to make money or not.

Last year before third quarter results, RBI reviewed asset quality of banks and took out list of companies which are heavily indebted to banks.

RBI directed banks to make provision for this indebted amount in Q3 and Q4 results at 50-50 ratio respectively. This led to sharp decline in profits of banks after provisioning half the indebted amount in third quarter.

Now RBI has trimmed the list of indebted companies to be included in AQR. This means that banks will have to make less provisioning in their Q4 results, thereby increasing their bottom line. In other words, Q4 results of banks will be much above street expectations.

Bank scrips will get a boost with this news and move higher.

Technical View
You just read the fundamental good news. Now take into account the technical analysis of BankNifty.

• Bank Nifty in charts opened with a gap-up at 16257 on 21Apr 2016(last Thursday) and continued moving up.
• This gap-up opening provided a breakout move to BankNifty from upper band of Bollinger. This move has been maintained on Friday as well. Bank BankNifty closed at 16703.on Friday.
• With the breakout move last Thursday, BankNifty confirmed the swing that was forming. Friday closing was an affirmative signal to the swing in BankNifty.

Take Action to Make Money

With such positive environment related for banks, it is time to take action. Make hay while the sun s.....!

Buy May Futures of following banks:-

• Albk May Fut: Buy 57/58, Target 65
• Bankbaroda May Fut : Buy 159/160, Target 180
• Ktkbank May Fut : Buy 110/111, Target 125

Exit Strategy for April Futures - Action Station

Yesterday Nifty closed slightly in red at 7912 and Dow Jones in US closed deeply in red , down 113 points at 17982.

Global markets are not supportive. Asian markets are in red and SGX Nifty is down by 15 points, as of publishing this post. So Indian markets should open flat with a slight negative bias.

Worst case scenario for Nifty is that it can drift down to 7800. There Nifty should find support in today's trade.

However if Nifty opens with a Gap-up above 7950, then it will be a very positive signal. Nifty will keep moving higher in such scenario. Further, if Nifty closes above 8000 today, then we can safely assume that it is headed to 8300.
