Commenting upon the market trends  Mehul Kothari, Senior Technical Analysit at IndiaNivesh told, " We have been waiting for quite some time for this breakout since we had a buy on dips view. Now, since the index has managed to close the week above 10950 the triangle breakout is being confirmed and Nifty has a potential to sneak above 11000 mark. However, we also maintain our stance that 11200 still remains a very strong hurdle for the bulls. Thus we would advise traders to start booking profits once index arrives near that zone."
