The firm Asian cues and buying in technology stocks helped the market close higher on November 28 but the Nifty50's failure to hold on to its 200-DMA due to profit booking at higher levels indicated that traders turned cautious ahead of expiry of November futures & options contracts on November 30.
The 30-share BSE Sensex was up 203.81 points at 35,716.95 and the 50-share NSE Nifty rose 43.30 points to 10,728.90, but the broader markets underperformed frontliners with the Nifty Midcap index falling nearly a percent on weak breadth.
About three shares declined for every share rising on the NSE. The Nifty IT index rallied 2.9 percent while other major sectoral indices either closed flat or in a negative terrain.
The profit booking at higher levels, and selling & muted trade in major sectors indicated that the market internal picture remained very weak, experts said, adding one can avoid creating fresh longs.
