The analysis would remain the same. Nifty is continuously making higher highs from the last seven sessions. Today nifty outperformed with global peers. Nifty is looking quite expensive at these levels. I think one should initiate short positions from here on. A big correction of 200-300 points looks eminent here. Avoid long and exit from all long positions.
Bank nifty is looking very negative from these levels. One should book profits at these levels. A correction of 1000-1500 points looks very likely. Avoid long positions and initiate fresh shorts.
Both nifty and bank nifty are looking overbought on daily charts. Since the index has not reacted to the negative global cues today, a big correction will likely happen tomorrow. Be Neutral on the market.
