Today morning Asian markets are trading mixed with modest changes and SGX Nifty is trading around, which is about 50 points higher than Wednesday's close of February Nifty future. After Nifty closed above the 8440 hurdle on Tuesday, we had said that 8560 the 61.8% retracement level of the 8970-7894 fall, is the upside target to eye. Nifty soared 127 points on Wednesday to close at 8603, achieving the target mentioned above and vindicating our view. 8740, the top made in October 2016, is the next target to eye on the way up. 8460, the erstwhile resistance, would now act as immediate support, with the stop-loss of which trading longs should be held on to.
