V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, stated that the market is expected to stay bullish in the near term despite valuation concerns. He predicted that the current momentum could push the Sensex to 80,000 levels.

"A healthy trend in the market is that now the up move is being led by fundamentally strong largecaps in sectors like banking and telecom. With RIL, which had not participated in the rally joining the bull bandwagon, the rally has the strength to continue," he noted.

However, Vijayakumar warned of the potential impact of rising US bond yields, which could lead to significant foreign outflows in the coming days, potentially slowing the bull run.
