Q: What is it looking like - is the market still pushing to break that January high you think?

Bhat: I think basically markets after the over exuberant reaction post the Budget, largely aided by good FII inflows, I think it is probably now trying to pause for a while. My own sense is that in the immediate next two months we are close to the peak and in the next two months we should see some markets coming down somewhat, maybe about 250-300 points from the current level is what I think is very much possible.
