NIFTY
Current: 4,889 (Aug: 4,884, Sept: 4,892),

The index looks bearish. It could slide till 4,800 or rise till 4,975 on settlement. Short futures may have a stop loss at 4,950. A naked long August 4,800p (8.5) will work well if the session starts weak. The previous recommendation of a put butterfly with long 4,900p (48) two short 4,800p (2x8.5) and long 4,700p (2) can be cashed out at a big profit.

SBI
Current: Rs 1,990
Target: Rs 1,925
A new low for State Bank of India backed by high volume selling. The chart projection suggests the downtrend could continue till Rs 1,920-1,925. Keep a stop at Rs 2,015 and go short. Add to the position between Rs 1,960-1,980 and reset the stop to Rs 1,990.
