Nifty has broken all the important resistance levels led by strong companies. Technically, the market has created a strong bullish reversal pattern on a daily chart is moving towards the 14500 levels. Traders should consider reducing the weak positions on the resistance or around the cost price. The strategy would be to buy in the market if it corrects to 14200.
