NIFTY
Current: 5,447 (June future: 5,452),
Target: NA
The index is testing the lower end of its trading range. If it drops below 5,400, it could fall till 5300 in the next three sessions. A close-to-money bearspread of long June 54,00p (57) and short 5,300p (29) costs 28 and may pay a maximum of 72. A cheap, further from money bearspread of long 5,300p (29) and short 5,200p (14) is also tempting. The value of that position will rise steeply if the index falls.

BANK NIFTY
Current: 10,627 (June future: 10,633)
Target: 10,325
There's key support between 10,600-10,650. If that is broken, the bank nifty could fall till 10,300 within the next three sessions. Expectations about the RBI policy review are bearish. Short the index with a stop loss at 10,750. Add to the position between 10,500-10,550 and reset the stop to 10,650. Book profits around 10,325.

DLF
Current: Rs 225
Target: Rs 217
The trend has turned very negative. The stock could slide till support at Rs 215-218 in the next two or three sessions. Keep a stop at Rs 229 and go short. Add to the position between Rs 220-223 and reset the stop loss to Rs 225. Start booking profits below Rs 217.

WIPRO
Current: Rs 424
Target: Rs 405
The stock has made a downside breakout on a large volume expansion. It has a target of around Rs 405-410 in the next two or three sessions. Keep a stop at Rs 432 and go short. Add to the position between Rs 415-420 and reset the stop to Rs 424. Start booking profits at Rs 405.

The target price and projected movements given above are in terms of the next one trading session, unless otherwise stated
