hurdle is taken out decisively, next major target to eye would be 8655, which
is the top made in last July and is also the 52-week high.
Nifty, after achieving the 8295 on Thursday, went ahead to
close above it on Friday at 8328.
As mentioned above 8655 continues to be next major target
to eye.
Immediate support on the hourly chart
is placed around 8200 with the stop loss of which trading longs should be held
on to.
US markets will remain shut today for Independence Day
