Top 10 factors which are likely to chart direction for market this coming week

NEWS FOR NEXT WEEK
The Nifty created history this week as it climbed 9,600 and hit a fresh record high of 9,604.90. It rallied 1.7 percent for the week ended May 26 to close at 9,595.
As D-Street celebrated 3 years of Modi-led government in office, the index regained strength to take out key resistance levels this past week. The index is now trading in uncharted territory.

The S&P BSE Sensex rallied 564 points this week to hit a record closing high of 31,028.21. It hit an intraday high of 31,074.07.
However, there was some correction in the broader market. The S&P BSE Midcap index closed 124 points lower, while the S&P BSE Smallcap Index ended 140 points down.
Sensex attaining 31,000 level is one more milestone in this up move with the latest rise of 1000 points taking just one month. Sensex grew 20% from its recent bottom in just 5 months. We seem to be headed higher with or without some intermittent corrections thrown in.
The market might tread with caution or consolidate in the coming week after a sharp rally. But, the long-term trend still remains intact. Investors are advised to use any dip to accumulate quality stocks and not bother about valuation too much.
People believe that valuations have run up too high and earnings are yet to catch. This is when they look at the issue with historical perspective and low PE multiples in a low growth and high-interest era. But the new normal of PE will be much higher because PE starts with reciprocal of interest rate and you add growth and reduce risk. That is the theoretical framework but as interest rates head down, PE multiples will get stabilised at a higher level.

Below are the list of ten factors which are likely to chart direction for the market this coming week

The Nifty had formed a bullish wedge pattern on the hourly chart over the last few sessions, which had broken out on the upside in the last session.
On Friday, the index witnessed a sharp follow through on the upside. Investors are advised to hold their long positions as long as Nifty hold 9,300-9,340.

On the weekly chart, Nifty has formed a bullish outside bar, which reinforces the uptrend. Thus there is scope for Nifty to extend beyond the short term target of 9655 & head towards the medium-term target of 9,850. On the flip side, 9,340-9,300 will continue to act as a major support area.
