"Market is inching higher with more confidence that COVID-19 vaccine will be available in India soon. It can provide an advantage to India compared to the rest of the world. While, foreign inflows have already broken to a new high on a monthly basis, due to risk on strategy on healthier EMs like India," said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial services.
"Recently, broader market, including Mid & Small caps indices, started to perform better which may continue in the short-term as large caps look expensive post the solid rally from COVID-low," he added.

Technical View
Despite new life time highs, at this juncture momentum is clearly favouring bulls, as Nifty50 managed a close above psychological resistance point of 13k levels.
"This itself may become the reason for further upmove for next couple of trading sessions which may initially expand the rally towards 13200 levels," said Mazhar Mohammad, Chief Strategist–Technical Research & Trading Advisory at Chartviewindia.in.
"Traders are advised to remain cautious as this rally may get choked at any point in time as revealed by some of the momentum oscillators which failed to make new swing highs along with price chart thereby displaying some sort of negative divergence with a lower top," he added.
