At the ongoing Edelweiss conference, investors feel the worst for the economy my be over. The foreign institution investors are more optimistic of India and Indian economy than their doemstic counterparts, according to Rashesh Shah of Edelweiss Financial Services .

=====================  MARKET OUTLOOK  =====================

Though the market has been continuously losing strength, but still some analysts feel that there is something more to cheer up investors.  Experts feels that the downside of the market is about 100-200 points whereas the upside could be to the tune of 500-600 points atleast.

Well, as told y’day Nifty taken support around 5900 mark and today registered modest gains. Still Nifty is in the middle of range i.e. Nifty will find support around 5880 and will face resistance around 5950 and Nifty is just closed @5922, so still there’s no clarity but yes I can say market can move further as it has defended not technical but physiological mark 5900.

Once again if there’s dip till 5840 mark then for cash segment this downside can be used to buy, people who have missed the rally in 2012 can join the party mean one can watch 2 levels, 5840 & 5780-5800-5820, these tri levels can be watched carefully and one can initiate fresh longs in this range, as all seems good support and hopefully market can bottom out from here. They can keep SL 5870 itself.

The INDIA VIX on NSE was down 2.1% and ended at 15.31 against previous close of 15.65.

FNO PCR is 0.83 against previous close 0.90.

Indian Rupee against USD closed unchanged and was trading at 53.85.

S&P 500 (US) was trading at 1520.72 up 3.71 then its previous close at the time of writing M Bells.

=======================  NIFTY OUTLOOK  ========================

The near term support for the index is seen at the 5820 mark, which is also the 100 DMA. On the upside the 50 DMA could emerge as strong resistance zone near 5960 levels.

Nifty is in range of 5780 – 5820 (100 DMA) - 5840 - 5900-5950-6040-6150-6190 for current series.

Resistance – 5979 – 5953 – 5937 and Support – 5896 – 5871 - 5855

Opening - seems flat i.e. 8-10 points up and then let mkt to decide in which direction it want to go.
