Technical Outlook

Anil Manghnani, Modern Shares & Stock Brokers says, the correction, which took place on Friday, was due. “After a 400-point rally, there was no surprise that we got a correction,” he adds.

According to him, if the Nifty holds 5,438, maybe just for a quick trade, 50-60 points bounce is possible.

However, he feels, 5,338 should reach sometime this week.
