Sensex and Nifty continued to trade range bound on Thursday, even after reaching fresh all-time highs. “A reasonable negative candle was formed at the new highs and the market is now placed at the edge of the support of previous swing highs of 13140-13130 levels as per the concept of change in polarity. But, failed to show any convincing upmove from the support. This action could be a cause of concern at the highs,” said Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst, HDFC Securities. He adds that the short-term trend continues to remain positive with support at 13,000.
