It's the fifth day into the rally, and the nerves must certainly be rubbing thin. The sharp reaction at about 2503 yesterday gives a clue of this.
Add to this the dip in the US markets, and we are about to begin on a shaky note.
And then technically 2503-2525 has tested the Nifty in the recent past and would be seen as an area where the players will run for cover at any sign of weakness, and the shorters will begin to get active. This bunch has been hurt in the last five days and seeing thier opportunity now, will bring pressure at higher levels.
Any rise above 2500 should be viewed with caution, and made use of to exit doubtful positions, and even winning ones. A lot of scrips have shot up in the last few sessions and may well falter at these levels. Exiting them at any sign of weakness to re-enter later at lower levels, provided the trend is still strong, should be the proper play.
Even so, I would hesitate to go short right off the cuff. There has been reasonably good buying from FIIs and the domestic funds, and a good build up of long positions has taken place.
If we can take 2525 and close above, it would be a remarkable show of strength, and may be also seen as an early sign of the onwards march of the earlier uptrend.
For the immediate levels, 2498-2503-2507 and 2512 are the first goals to sustain. Should we get that far, 2525-2530 would be possible even if only as an intraday high.
To the down, 2485 is the primary support, and should this fail, below 2480 and 2477 the fall may be deeper where 2455-2465 area has stood well in the past.
