While a correction is taking place in the market and is visible in all segments of the markets. The question which needs to be asked is, why the correction is taking place. Is the reason any issue in global markets or local macroeconomic headwinds or is it just that valuations had seen a run up very sharply and now they are just correcting due to profit booking.

Today despite the fact that the nifty heavyweights are trading in green territory, nifty is still trading just moving close to the red territory.

If one looks at the trend in the advance decline ratio, on the day market is shedding weight, then the advance decline is very negative and even on the day nifty is moving upward, the improvement in the advance decline ratio is not that high. At this point of time, one cannot rule out more profit booking...
