With the Sensex highly oversold, support levels had to be in demand as we saw the index again sustained above the level of 12800. |

The price points where the ongoing pullback could end are 13300 and 13500, around which the next leg of the downtrend should begin. The macro setup remains negative with the DM indicator in sell mode, RSI at a two-year low, a bearish runaway gap and moving averages crossover. |

Keeping these triggers in mind one should trade cautiously on the long side. Even fresh short positions need not be initiated immediately as the markets could stay in a range for a few days before correcting again. Sharp downfalls are usually followed by sharp pullbacks. |
