Meanwhile a bullish breakout of a triangle on daily chart have taken place which would try to instigate bullish sentiment during current trading session. It's recommended to stay on long side with strict stop loss. While on flip side in case of bearish pressure index would try to establish ground above 47,700pts initially which would be followed by 47,500pts and 47,350pts. Currently hourly and daily momentum indicators have changed their direction towards bullish side therefore it's expected that index would try to take an intraday spike. On longer run it would be considered as range bound until it would not succeed in closing above 48,300pts.
