This dip from higher levels makes some sense before derivative expiry but we not able to draw a decisive point for correction. Technical charts are suggesting for price correction from the resistance 8700 to 8750 levels. Well, but we cannot specify a time line for this correction. This market has to go under correction or it may turn choppy. I want market to break lower as it is not breaking higher but this is just my desire. I do not see a technical signal yet.
For today’s trading session I am expecting market to open on flat note. My word of caution is still stronger for bulls. This is not a time to trade long on higher side as we have seen multiple time slip form higher levels. In the lower side if it can break below 8600 then we can see a good price correction. Will it come? It is not impossible. Let us see.
Do not misinterpret. I gave a long term trend as down from more than a year back. Nifty hit 9119 and then I issued for a long term top. Nifty hits a low at 6825 on Budget day this year. After such down side, wave theory had suggested for comparable recovery with three big possibilities for retrenchments, first to come at 50% at 8000, 61.80% at 8250 and 76.40% at 8575.
101%, I retain my view for long term trend down but that does not says that we cannot interprets for short to medium term of recovery. This recovery was bound to come and it is coming to make a wave [B]. Now, just imagine the magnitude of wave [C]. Higher the retrenchment, bigger fall will hit in future. If this wave [B] tries to end up near 9000 then 9119 may not be visible for many years. So, where is my long term target on Nifty? Well, it is in the zone of 6000-5500.
Strategy for Nifty September future – We may have dull start but we may not get decisive start for the day. Technical resistance will emerge at 8710-8720. I am expecting a decisive price correction. I want to see the signal for start of correction. If this can happen then today may be the start day. Blow 8750, correction will begin.

BANK NIFTY – For Bank nifty my study remains same. Avoid present breakout now for long. It has definitely not displaying the kind of strength which I was expecting above 19200. Fine, as long as it is above 19200 I may not opt shorting. Well, but below 19200 I will definitely think to short this very seriously. Technically, 19600 may remain untested. We will see resistance emerging at each higher level.
