Now that the psychological number is achieved, the markets sustaining at these levels would create a solid base the next leg higher. There are many moving parts specially in the near term as it is an action packed week, with all eyes on the global Central bank commentary and the expiry coming up which would be the first test.
If one looks at the bigger picture, results season has not given too many positive surprises, so the markets should consolidate around this number. The risks are ever present but manifest in different ways, one will only know the reason for things turning with the benefit of hindsight. Hence, while it’s the index at five figure number, it is a virtuous cycle which follows in terms of new investors getting carried away and getting exuberant, this is the only thing one should watch for

That said, this correction will not be very deep as a huge pool of cash is waiting to be deployed in the markets at lower levels.
