Trading Strategy: The overall market setup remains positive, but after five consecutive sessions of gains, some profit booking cannot be ruled out. Avoid chasing stocks during the initial gap-up. Focus on quality largecaps showing strong volume, relative strength and sustained buying above VWAP. Overall View: Bullish with selective buying. Maintain strict stop-losses and avoid aggressive option buying at the opening. Source: Reuters, NDTV Profit and Financial Express
