Current: 5,682 (futures: 5,686)
Target: NA
Big bounce on settlement driven by short-covering and stronger US sentiment. Not clear if this is sustainable. Stop-loss shorts at 5,735 and stop-loss long positions at 5,625. Breakouts beyond those points could go till 5,575 or 5,775. A bullspread of long 5,800c (58) and short 5,900c (31) costs 27. It could gain 15-20 on a big upmove.
