Lull before the storm

As expected last week (see here) Nifty faced strong resistance in the 8350-8386 range and failed to sustain outside this range.
The momentum in the market slowed down considerably despite F&O expiry last week. Volumes were low. Volatility persisted at lower levels. Market breadth was even. FPI selling seen in past two weeks subsided. So did the DII buying. Bonds markets were also subdued with benchmark yields mostly unchanged, despite failure of RBI auction on Friday.
For the week, Nifty is critically placed at the break out point. A positive break out might take Nifty to the higher trading range of 8470-8850.
Failure to breakout may however led the market retreat to 7900 level with a rendezvous in 8170-8210 range.
Given the worsening domestic political environment and Greek referendum scheduled for Sunday, 5th July, it is less likely that a clear direction will emerge this week.
