The weekly candle is a powerful candle, with long lower wick and a large body. This is an ideal breakout candle. This is the higheest weekly close and NIFTY is at 52-week high. What is left to conquer is all-time high point alone.
Look at Bank Nifty! The index has touched all-time high! The structure looks very good for an explosion.
The global markets had a big rally last week. The US markets led from the front continuing the up-move. It was only FTSE that lagged behind the peers.
US inflation eased to 7.7% and this is happening for the first time in eight months. It has been consistently above 8%. US Mid-term elections did not have a major impact on the markets. US markets have switched opening time to 8 PM.

We have our inflation data releasing tomorrow. Both WPI and CPI will be released. The inflation is expected to subside. Price of imported goods have fallen. It is expected at around 6.5% due to base effect as well.
However, if inflation comes above 6%, which is likely to happen, this results in 10 months of out of tolerance zone.
US industrial data and British CPI will come on Wednesday. Euro CPI will be out on Thursday.
The investors have been waiting for long to see the all-time high getting broken. Do you think it will happen this week or will there be a sell-off? Thanks to FIIs, our rally has been strong and steady in the last few weeks. DIIs helped us during every correction phase. Hope there will be no major sell-offs at the top.
I will be closely watching 18,250 on the downside and 18,600 on the upside.
