Nifty Outlook :
As we mentioned into our previous blog, published on 28th Sept.2012, we had adviced to book profits in long positions in Nifty Futures. 5630 was a very crucial level for Nifty as twice Nifty bounced back from the level to test 5800 mark. But today in the last hour Nifty broke the support of 5630 level and collapsed to 5568. Any weekly close below 5540 will break the uptrend on weekly chart and will lead to more bearishness and may test 5265.
