K. Premkumar

MONDAY'S market action witnessed bull onslaught. Bulls were able to capture the market right from the start of the day. Bears could not put a stop to the bull march throughout the day. The sentiment reading of the tradable counters stands bullish. Bull domination on Tuesday is likely to further strengthen the sentiment reading in their favour. On the contrary, the sentiment reading is likely to become neutral.

Nifty futures recommendation: The market opened with a bull gap of around 3 points and further moved up by another 30 points. Bears were unable to regain their losses throughout the day. The intra-day movement was around 29 points. It closed higher with a gain of around 33 points from Friday's close.

The uptrend in the December contract remains unchallenged. Both the exit and bearish levels are placed quite far away. In the normal course of trading on Tuesday, these levels are unlikely to be triggered.
