Nifty 50 and Sensex are trading marginally lower. Both the indices are down about 0.12 per cent each. Sensex is trading at 65,803 and Nifty is at 19,587.
The overall picture remains positive. The price action this week indicates that the Nifty has got strong buyers around 19,500 and 19,400. So, for the index to come under pressure only if the Nifty declines below 19,400. But that looks unlikely because, over the last couple of days, the level 19,500 itself is providing strong support. The chances are high for the Nifty to sustain above 19,500 itself. The outlook is bullish. The Nifty can rise to 19,800-19,850 in the coming days.

The price action in the coming days will need a close watch.
