Nifty oulook by Geojit Financial Services
Monday’s pull back suggests that July series’ peak will be revisited today. Such a quick turnaround underscores the possibility of directional moves emerging. However, the early trades near the recent peak of 10,117 need to be played with caution, as volatility will try and reassert is dominance. Any slippage beyond 10,070 will have to be taken as a bear sign, but until then the 10,150-10,300 objectives could be in play.
