Profit Booking or Fresh Buying?
Profit booking usually shows up as a close well below the high on decent turnover; fresh buying as a close near the high with rising breadth. Today the close was 77.22% of the way up a 24.01-point range, 5.47 points off the high, on turnover of Rs 3.83 billion (the index chart's traded-value series ran -2.61% versus its 20-session average). Breadth was 196 advancers to 79 decliners. That combination reads more like fresh buying than distribution.
