Market closed 2nd consecutive week in positive territory. It has extended on upside as expected last week. It made a high of 8968.70 levels on nifty & 29,077.28 levels on sensex so far in this rally. It looks like wave-(v) of III to extend further towards higher levels targets in short term. As market is extending towards all time high levels, one can’t rule out profit booking from these levels. But any kind of profit booking or short term correction/consolidation is buying opportunity from medium term perspectives.

All the other indices such as midcap, small cap & Bankex etc closed weekly in positive territory. AS NSE MIDCAP & BSE SMALL CAP is breaking out their 2008 high after 8 years & by looking at current structure of main index (NIFTY/SENSEX), it looks like “LET THE PARTY ROCKS FURTHER”, therefore revising today medium term targets & stop loss levels on indices as below.
