Bulls to rule above 5,210
Bears were caught on the wrong foot, as the suspected downmove reversed sharply on positive economic developments. Last week, I had mentioned the downmove looked suspect because of the low volumes. The upmove has been quite sharp and the indices managed to record new 15-month highs on Thursday, the last trading day for the week. Next week is also a curtailed one with just three trading days, as the exchanges have declared holidays on Monday and Friday.
