Market Outlook
Nifty was up pretty much near where it had reached on Tuesday or Monday rather, and it was just a stone’s throw away from the new high. However, there seemed to be some tentativeness at this level every time. In the last two sessions, Nifty tried to go to 22,700 but was beaten back down. It seems that being near the all-time high brings resistance. Once it is cleared, it may fly again more easily.
