Bears are likely to take a pause at least in early trade on Tuesday, as the signal from SGX Nifty and Asian markets points a gap up opening of 80 points even as the US markets closed in the red overnight.
The SGX Nifty is ruling at 14,370 as against Nifty futures' Monday close of 14,287. Most Asian markets are trading with one per cent gain.
Though the Nifty and Sensex benchmarks may open on positive note, analysts expect broader market to remain negative, as bears have tightened their grip in the last two days.
