Today morning, except a 0.3% lower Nikkei, other Asian markets are trading with modest gains and SGX Nifty is suggesting about 15 points higher start for our market. As mentioned in yesterday's report, a decisive crossover of 8970 marks a major breakout after a two-year long consolidation, major target of which comes to around 10000. "Hold on to long positions with a trailing stop-loss" continues to be the advisee. Immediate support on the hourly chart has moved up to 9040, which should serve as the fresh stop-loss for trading longs

OUTLOOK
Today morning, except a marginally lower Nikkei, other Asian markets are trading with
gains of 0.2%-1.3% and SGX Nifty is suggesting about 70 points higher start for our
market.
In yesterday's report we had reiterated the view that upon decisive crossover of 8970, next
major target to eye is 10000 and one should hold on to long positions with the stop-loss of
8970.
After today's gap-up opening, immediate support on the hourly chart would shift to 9000,
which should serve as the fresh stop-loss for trading longs.
