The Indian market traded with healthy gains in intraday trade on July 13, tracking positive global cues.

Equity benchmark the Sensex jumped over 300 percent and Nifty reached near 15,800 in intraday trade so far.

“There is a tendency for the markets to bounce from lower levels and resist at higher levels. This is a perfect example of a sideways market which is currently between 15,400 and 15,900,” Manish Hathiramani, Proprietary Index Trader and Technical Analyst, Deen Dayal Investments observed.

“Unless we do not get past either level, we will not see a trend with active market participation. If we can get past 15,900, we should scale higher to 16,100. A break of 15,400 can result in a medium-term correction which can take the markets lower to 15,100-15,200 levels,” said Hathiramani.
