Hi Anupama...nothing in the data as such.
When a price or index value sky-rokets, there usually comes a pull back to fill the gaps left behind. This is like a consolidation phase.
With the NIFTY, this is the seventh day on a roll where it's making new highs. In itself this may be ok, but crucially, the volume has been feeble, as has been the davanve/decline ratio, meaning there are more declines than advances.
There is a strong inflow of funds from institutional buyers which has been driving up the market mainly. They have built up massive stakes now, and will book profits sometime or the other. They all understand the nature of this game. Get out at highs, then short sell, let the market tank, then come in again lower.
The NIFTY is in an over-bought zone now, and there is a strong case for consolidation at this point, better at lower levels where some balance would come for a new upside later.
This is for now.
