There are no short-term triggers to take the Nifty beyond the upper band. Some profit booking pulling the market slightly down is likely.

But ample liquidity will ensure that dips will get bought, helping the market to consolidate.”“From the global perspective, market participants will be keenly following the progress of trade talks between the U.S. and China. Even though there is optimism regarding a favourable outcome, it is unlikely to happen quickly.
