The Nifty has given a pullback rally of almost 9.90% from its recent low of 5477.20 made on 10th April, 2013. No it is likely to face a stiff resistance near 6020. If it is able to maintain above this level, an upward rally might carry it to 6125 and then 6300 in the extreme short term. However, a breach of 5800 would indicate the end of current rally and in that case Nifty may test 5500.
On an intra-day basis Nifty has a support at 5950 and is likely to face a stiff resistance near 6020. If Nifty breaks 5960 it may further go down to 5920 and then 5870. However, if it is able to sustain above 6020, the level of 6050 - 6125 would become the next target.
