Morning Market Outlook Today
Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services said, "The super Monday which delivered a 418 point rally in the Nifty is unlikely to be repeated with the same ferocity in the coming days. But the market construct stays bullish. The massive institutional buying of above Rs 7000 crores yesterday is a reflection of institutional confidence in the Indian market. It is important to understand that FPIs have reversed their selling strategy and have been consistent buyers during the last 7 days. There is accumulation happening in the frontline banking stocks. This, along with short covering and reasonable valuations, will keep this segment strong.
The market has the potential to go up by another 5 % in the next many weeks. Beyond that valuations will get stretched inviting correction in the market."

Nifty Outlook Today
Anand James, Chief Market Strategist at Geojit Financial Services said, "Whilie oscillators are at upper extremes calling for corrections, momentum had worked in favour of the upsides so far allowing Nifty to persist with the prevailing uptrend. But with VIX also rising, enroute a 20% gain which we are eying, our bets are on corrections finding buying interest again, atleast initially. Meanwhile, early trades in the vicinity of 20720 are likely to see buyers withdrawing, and our favoured point for such turnaround on the lower side is 20590 or 20500. Alternatively, a close above 20660 could call for 20880."

Market Outlook Today
Aditya Gaggar, Director of Progressive Shares said, "The Indian equities started the week on a robust note and in the presence of a strong follow-through, the Index was traded in uncharted territory and finally settled at a fresh high of 20,686.80. The Index rally was primarily driven by the Banking stocks and our target of 46,300 on BankNifty has been achieved as well. Looking at the hourly charts, both Nifty and BankNifty are in an extremely overbought condition; however, an early indication from GIFT Nifty suggests another strong opening of the markets. It will be a wait-and-watch condition in the opening 30-40 minutes (sustainability at a higher level will be a key factor). Our preferred stocks from the Auto and Energy segments are performing as per the anticipation; and thus, we continue to remain bullish on the same (Eicher Motors, Hero Motocorp, and HPCL). From the Banking sector, Kotak Bank did give a breakout from an Inverted Head and shoulder formation with a considerable volume but we advise to opt for the buy-on-dips strategy in it. The FMCG sector is set to give a breakout from a continuation pattern known as Rounding Bottom, post the breakout, one can expect a sharp uptick in the sector. The star performer of yesterday's trade was the PSU Banking sector which has given a breakout from a Symmetrical Triangle Formation. A strong outperformance can be expected from the same (Central Bank and Union Bank Of India)."
