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 88.26% of the way up a 24.28-point range, 2.85 points off the high, on turnover of Rs 3.14 billion (the index chart's traded-value series ran -36.48% versus its 20-session average). Breadth was 169 advancers to 95 decliners. That combination reads more like fresh buying than distribution.
