In my last take on Nifty futures when it was at 18687, I had given a target of 18258.
I exited from the trade in Futures very early ( I too am human and can get scared sometimes) and then went with some Call short position for better risk management.
If you see the Nifty Futures chart now...
Nifty futures made a low of 18231 / 18223 and so far has managed to stay above 18258 odd levels on closing basis. (400 plus points... Not bad to get the levels right at least from analysis angle)
Coming to Nifty Spot chart we see 50 day EMA at 18191 and Nifty managed to stay a tad above so still there is hope for the Bulls for a late Santa Claus rally.
Put Call Ratio is at 0.61
Given the set up, and data parameters, I would not consider any short positions for now.
My trading setup: I would consider taking a bullish stance for the next 1 - 2 week with 18114 / 18080 in Nifty spot as my SL.
If I see things favorable (on the downside Nifty should not breach 18114 -18080 levels), I would consider selling Put options as it provide some margin of safety.
On the upper side if Nifty manages to take out 18244-18262) on hourly chart, I might consider some aggressive bets on the long side as well with 50 day EMA or 18178 as my SL .
Pharma sector showed some promise today and could be the dark horse going forward. Keep a watch on the sector.
