The index is taking breather after recent 1500 points sharp up move seen during past four weeks. We believe, ongoing breather would help index to cool off the short term overbought condition and help index to form a higher base that would pave the way to challenge the all-time high of 18600 in the coming sessions and eventually head towards 18900 by December 2022.
