This was accompanied by higher than average daily volumes, providing credence to the breakout. However, due to lack of follow up buying, the stock corrected a bit towards the trend line support of 412. As expected, the strong buying emerged at lower levels, which validates this corrective move as a pullback move and the stock would now possibly start the fresh leg of the rally. Hence, we recommend buying for an upside target of Rs 469 and stop loss at Rs 401.70.   Click here for more Outlook on Nifty by Angel Broking   The merry days continues for our market after undergoing some stressful period of nearly five months. Unlike the previous week, the intra-week action was not as smooth as it was; but as we generally say all is well that ends well. The index managed to reclaim the 11350 mark with an authority; bringing the smile back on a lot of retail investors.   With a technical point of view, the rally began after breaking out from a ‘Bullish Diamond’ pattern on the weekly chart during the mid-July. Since then a series of bullish price developments have been observed. Some would say markets are overbought but we do not want to be in this bandwagon as of now.
