Manish Hathiramani, technical analyst with Deen Dayal Investments said: “The Index is venturing closer to its resistance zone which is between 14,500-14,700. If we are successful in getting past that, we will head closer to 15,000. If we turn from these levels, we might drift down to re-test the recent lows of 14,150-14,200.”
