NIFTY
Current: 5,285 (futures: 5,273);
Target: NA
The index could swing between 5,125 and 5,400 - the bias is bearish. Stop-loss short positions at 5,350 and stop-loss long positions at 5,200. A long 5,200p (16.5) is expensive given expiry. But it could double if it's struck.

Target price: 8,400
Almost every bank stock hit its respective 52-week low in the last two sessions. The index bounced from a 52-week low of 8,366. Keep a stop at 8,900 and short. Add to the position between 8,625 and 8,650. Book profits at 8,400. Be prepared for extreme volatility.

JP ASSOCIATES
Current price: Rs 33.80;
Target price: Rs 31
Short covering pulled the stock back from Rs 30.1. Keep a stop at Rs 34.75 and short. Add to the position between Rs 32.75 and Rs 33.25. Book profits below Rs 31.

Current price: Rs 267;
Target price: Rs 251
