Even if we tough 16,000, it will be key to watch whether we sustain. My sense is markets will take a breather at these higher levels" As a strategy for traders, he said, "Short-term traders with one or two days' horizon should use all trades till 16,000 to take money off the table and book profits. the rally is not be chased even more if one is trading in high beta stocks. The rally should be used to book profits."
