Dalal Street Week Ahead: Be cautious! Nifty vulnerable to sharp profit booking

The Indian stock market gained for the fifth consecutive day as the Nifty rose by 2.5%, posting a weekly gain of 4.06% as the VIX tested its pre-pandemic lows. However, the low level of the VIX makes the markets vulnerable to sharp profit-taking bouts. Nifty has bounced off its 200-DAY moving average, which provides strong support. Additionally, 100-Week moving average at 17214 also acts as strong support. One must be cautious while chasing the up moves and trail stop losses of the long players.
