 Nifty Probing the ( New ? ) Highs ... !!!

In the last fifteen days, the Nifty futures have recorded it's second failure in it's probe to the 5350 levels. As is usual for any trading markets, the next step is to probe the other side. Hence the rally on Monday, the first trading day of the new calender month. By the time the trading opened, the Asian markets were trading robustly in the positive territory giving very strong positive cues to the markets. The futures opened near the top end of the previous day's trading range and closed at the highs. The Nifty future is set to probe the recent high of 5475 and if it is able to break the resistance it may even reach the next resistance area between the 5500 to 5550 levels. In the end, the expected cliffhanger trading day ended without any suspense ... !!!
