U.S Inflation Cools off !! (29th April 2024)

1. U.S Markets closed higher on Friday. 2. All the indices were higher. 3. Asian markets are all higher. 4. U.S VIX is now below 15. 5. VIX below 15 indicates markets are in a safe zone and there would be less Volatility ahead. 6. On Friday , we were down a bit and this was mainly because of unusual rally on the day on monthly expiry. 7. This got adjusted on Friday. 8. Usually , in the past when VIX came at the all time low , there wasn't any big move in the markets. 9. It was max 2% up or down for the whole month. 10. I think the markets are currently not much worried about the elections as Markets got confident about a BJP win. 11. State Election results have given a reasonable certainty for the same. 12. So I expect lesser Volatility in May. 13. April was also not volatile for the whole month expect in last week due to war news. 14. Inflation has also cooled off in the U.S Markets. 15. This is a good news as it would indulge a rate cut from banks. 16. My long term ex

VIX has cooled off significantly.  6. There won't be much of big moves now 7. Today I expect a flat expiry. 8. There might be some intraday swings in between. 9. Intraday Volatility might be there in between but I expect markets more on less to close flat. 10. Intraday option selling is the most risky instrument right now. 11. Yes , that's me an option seller saying thus. 12. Option selling now in Intraday is equal to suicide because now during intraday in takes minutes for markets to fall a percent & also recover. 13. I have said many times in the past that I've stopped intraday option selling  14. When conditions for some strategies ain't right , do not force it. 15. It's better to take long term option trades which are much safer. 16. April was on the whole a co

U.S VIX was down more than 7%. 6. VIX had shot up significantly when Iran - Israel War was on. 7. VIX is known as "Fear & Greed Index". 8. VIX rises significantly whenever there's Fear and greed in the markets. 9. Cooling off for VIX means that the uncertainties are nearing to an end. 10. Situation is under control & no fear is visible currently.  11. India VIX is total another story. 12. India VIX fell 20% Yesterday and hit an all time low of 9.96. 13. But I noticed option premiums didn't fell that significantly.  14. Usually when VIX falls next month premiums come off. 15. Yesterday they haven't come off so significantly.  16. In the past , post elections there was a crash in VIX but now markets seem to be confident that there would be a stable Government. 17. I'm n

21800 - A Double bottom for Nifty? (22nd Apr 2024)

1. U.S Markets closed mixed on Friday. 2. Nasdaq crashed by 2% on Friday. 3. Asian markets are all mixed. 4. U.S Markets look bearish currently and are not out of the woods yet. 5. We have have successful om Friday by not going below 21800 but have to see how much time it's going to sustain. 6. Results of HDFC Bank ain't that great. 7. It's just flat Results and nothing is out of the box. 8. Reliance results should be out today during market hours. 9. This could cause a big swing on Nifty. 10. I personally feel markets would be in a consolidation phase for next 6 months at index and most of the stocks. 11. 2023-2024 had been a fantastic year and almost all the stocks rallied. 12. Valuations are quite steep now and only if a company is declaring excellent results , the stock prices are rising. 13. Markets would test your patience but will not make big trending moves. 14. 22350 is the resistance for nifty. 15. 21800 is the support. 16. I'm giving a bigger rang

Yesterday was a horrific trading day. 6. Nifty touched 22300 and was trading I'm green in the first half.a  7. Suddenly markets fell. 8. Nifty fell 200 points in a minute.  9. On analysing the reason , Isreal FM gave a statement that they would attack back. 10. Their attack would be mlge vicious. 11. So this war news is driving the markets currently. 12. 22000 is a strong support. 13. 21800 is a super strong level. 14. Don't think 22000 below could sustain for long. 15. Until this word of mouth and expecting of possible attack goes on , Markets could turn volatile. 16. War etc  people will forget as days pass by. 17. Use this dips as buying opportunities.  18.

This is  due to Israel - Iran Conflicts. 7. Over the weekend , there were news of possible war happening between both the countries. 8. Although there is not much happening on the wat front,  markets are factoring in the uncertainty.  9. Markets at all time high needed a reason to correct and this came in 10. We will be opening near 22k on Nifty today. 11. Which is  a strong support zone. 12. I feel markets are factoring in all the negatives of a further escalation. 13. 22k should be a good support and we should be able to hold it. 14. If 22k is taken out then it would be again a correction on the way. 15. Sentiment has been dampened by the war news  16. Banks underperformed majorly yesterday.  17. Use this dip as an opportunity to buy good companies  18. Don't wait on the sidelines for more co
