Markets surged 1.5% in the volatile week ended January 17 led by rate sensitive shares after the sharp decline in December WPI raised hopes that the Reserve Bank of India is likely to maintain status quo on key policy rates. However, the broader markets witnessed profit taking after gains in the previous weeks underperforming the benchmark indices.
Most of the gains were seen in earlier part of the week supported by global cues after weaker-than-expected US jobs data increased the probability that the US Fed may not increase the quantum of stimulus cuts.
The wholesale inflation declined to a five-month low in December on lower vegetable prices. WPI-based inflation stood at 6.16% from 7.52% a month ago, as per the data released by Ministry of Commerce and Industry. This is the first time since May that headline inflation has declined from the previous month. In November, the WPI inflation was at a 14-month high
Key Events to Watch Next Week :-
HDFC, L&T, Cairn India, Asian Paints and UltraTech Cement will be some of the major companies announcing their third quarter earnings.
FII investment trends will also be in focus as they have remained net buyers of nearly Rs 1,600 crore in January so far.
The movement of the rupee against the US dollar will also be on the radar of market participants.
Caution is also likely to prevail ahead of the RBI's policy review on Jan. 28.

After hitting 6346 high on 16th Jan - Nifty fell down to hit a low of 6246 on 17th Jan 2014. As marked on chart it seems like wave 2 completed. The fall should be fast only if breaks below 6140-50. As said last week, I still advice more caution on Nifty - as I feel that this may be a beginning of a big or deep correction.

As said above if 6140-6150 holds then bounce back possible as there is an bullish alternative like a-b-c-d-e pattern. So important to watch the level.
