Elaborating upon the market outlook IndiaNivesh research informed Zee Business Online, "Now, the index has surpassed 11,000 mark but it’s trading near the previous swing high of 11,118 (levels). Once again the landmark of 11,100 is likely to (remain) strong resistance in the coming week. Only a sustainable move above the same might pull the index towards the higher levels of 11,250 to 11,400. On the downside 10,800 might act as a short term support. A move below the same might dwell the ongoing momentum for the time being." the IndiaNivesh report further added, "With regards to NIFTY BANK index, we are witnessing a fresh breakout, which indicates that the index is poised to retest its all-time high of 28389. The immediate support for NIFTY BANK is at 27450 mark."
