For Aug. 11
Remember the very special mark for the NIFTY on the last three sessions of the last week?
Yes, the tempting, forbidden fruit at 2377 is back again!
It has become an enchanted zone where the markets dread to tread.
This is a critical level for today, and if it can be cleared, the sentiment should get a boost to carry the market even higher to close in on 2400.
If not, we are back to the dark lurking shadows of a fall again.
There is enough bad news in the air with crude again hitting an all time high yesterday, and the US markets ruling weak.
In these conditions, there is every possibility that selling pressure will emerge at higher levels. Then there are those who made a killing in yesterdays awesome rally, and will want to book profits.
So, expect a choppy and nervous market today.
Hopefully it will not open too high as there will come selling at once. If it opens neutral, there is a possibility of a gradual build up later in the day. The bulls need to extend themselves just a little longer to squeeze the bears.
2335 will be a critical level on the down, as below lies a ten point fall.
A comfort range would be 2350-2360.
