Indian markets were witnessing selling pressure Monday as traders booked profits in overheated stocks and sectors. Subdued global markets also kept the market under check. “US markets were positive and other Asian markets are mixed. Treasuries fell for a third day on speculation that a government report this week on retail sales will add to signs the US economic recession is ending. We believe that it will be awhile before the US economy revives, but emerging markets will continue to outperform. However, our market is extremely overbought and hence a correction is warranted. For
the day we expect the market to open up, though some selling at higher levels cannot be ruled out,” said Religare Securities report.At 11 am, National Stock eXchange’s Nifty was at 4522.95, down 63.95 points or 1.39 per cent.

The 30-share index hit an intra-day low of 14761.90 and high of 15200.82.“Trend deciding level for the day is 4595 / 15118. If Nifty trades above this level during the first half-an-hour of trade then we may witness a further rally up to 4629 / 15243. However, if Nifty trades below 4595 / 15118 for the first half-an-hour of trade then it may correct up to 4554 – 4520 / 14979 – 14854,” said Angel Broking note.
