The Greek Tragedy, Act I Over, But There Is No Act II ...! ( For Now... !)
The markets can be very fickle. It almost never moves up without some down days in between many up days. Before last Thursday, the markets achieved four up days. So it was waiting for a reason for a small correction. Then came the opportunity to enact the Act I of the long playing Greek debt tragedy. But there wasn't any Act II ( follow up selling ) on Friday. (Well this is valid for a short time. If the opportunity arises again, the markets may again consider it...! ). Instead it bought off and closed at 5367, almost at at the same area it closed for most of the last week.

The technical position of the market remains the same. The uptrend is still in continuation and the Nifty futures are still trading in the upward moving regression channel. The supports too remain the same.
Meanwhile, the major international markets are also trading in a very similar manner. The US S&P 500 closed at a new 2010 high last Friday. Please see the chart below.

The CBOE Volatility Index ( VIX ), which shows the implied volatility embedded in the S&P 500 options, too closed at a post June 2007 low of 16.14. The low close of the VIX indicates the lower risk perceptions by the investors and traders about the equity markets at present. Hence, the slow and grinding rally may continue for some more time.
