The benchmark indices decisively managed to snap a 10-day losing streak and closed with more than 1 percent gains on March 5, with further healthy trends in market breadth. A total of 2,321 shares saw buying interest, compared to 326 shares that declined on the NSE. The market needs to record a strong follow-up rally to confirm the change in trend. Until then, it seems to be in a consolidation phase. Below are some trading ideas for the near term:
