World Markets 

Expecting a fast agreement between the EU and  IMF for a temporary solution to the Greek debt problem , the European markets closed in the green on Thursday.

The closing values required for the resumption of the uptrend and the closing values for the continuation of the downtrend have remained almost static. As the US markets were rallying, the Indian markets may recover further to test the resistances mentioned in the earlier part of the post. Since any closing value above 5265 may turn the signal neutral, the present sell signal may  turn in to a whipsaw.
