Bulls have extended the rally and a new all-time high was witnessed in benchmark indices in the past trading week. The gain of approximately 250 points on a week-on-week basis has placed the Nifty above the 13,750-mark.
Though the strength is still intact, but the bell of caution can be heard as momentum indicators are trading in a highly overbought zone and prices are trading far above short-term moving averages. The overbought indicators do not indicate the weakness but the pause in an ongoing trend. The indicators might remain in the overbought zone for the extended period and the price could still go higher and this rally can extend up to the 13,950 level (61.8 percent projected retracement level of previous month's trading range).
The caution at a higher level is required as mild correction in order to maintain demand/supply adjustment might not be ruled out from the afore mentioned levels. The short-term support is emerging at 13,570 and 13,411 and any fall till these levels would offer buying opportunities to traders. Considering the derivatives data and moderate India VIX (volatility index) levels, the major fall is not expected in the short term and stock-specific opportunities would keep the traders in high spirits.
