Outlook for Thursday:-

· NSE Derivatives total open interest is very high at Rs 101563 Cr though it was down 4% yesterday. Many stocks lost OI yesterday as many market players must have cut positions as a result of market volatility.

· Although we recovered 1500 points intraday yesterday, breadth did remain negative. This is a cause of concern and one needs to be very stock-specific from hereon. Reliance group stocks are still quite heavy and some caution is advised while trading those stocks. Tech stocks are defensive bets at this point of time and one should add them whenever some panic happens in them.

· Next day or two are crucial as a lot of volatility is expected with such a high OI position. Nifty has good resistance at 5665 to 5710 which if not crossed in next 2-3 days, correction can set in and we will see lower levels once again. Above that we will see short-covering taking us higher towards 5830 levels. For today’s trading, support can come in at 5440 and 5290. It is better to avoid hasty buying in hot stocks.

· TCS (1095):- Buy around 1070-1080 for target 1140-1150
