The market snapped four-day losing streak on Tuesday after rallying 500 points intra-day, aided by strong global support and short covering in the most beaten down stocks. Expectation of a well co-ordinated bailout plan for Europe triggered a rally across globe. The 30-share BSE Sensex shot up 472.93 points or 2.95%, to close at 16,524.03 and the 50-share NSE Nifty rose 135.85 points or 2.81%, to end at 4,971.25 led by broadbased buying.
Experts, however, remained nervous despite today's rally. Mehraboon Irani of Nirmal Bang Securities said the bounce could stretch a little bit further. But the trend remains down, he says. Abhijit Paul of Brics Securities said the market has been in a wide range of 5200 on the upside and 4700 on the downside as a support. He still feels a possible test of 4430-4480 for the Nifty Future is very likely.
