Nifty may see some profit booking around 9000 levels. Market would consolidate in a range bound region with big volatility in upcoming days.

                                      Nifty has paused after a strong rally over the past two trading days.

 Nifty is not gaining strength to break above the psychological 9,000 mark. Key support is in the 8,950-8,930 region. If the contract manages to sustain above this support zone, a range bound move between 8,930 and 9,000 is possible for some time.An eventual break above 9,000 may take the nifty higher to 9,020 initially. Further break above 9,020 will increase the likelihood of nifty rallying to 9,050 or to even higher levels thereafter.High risk appetite traders can go long on a bounce from 8,950. Stop-loss can be placed at 8,930 for the target of 8,980.On the other hand, if the contract breaks below 8,945, it can fall to 8,900 or 8,875. In such a scenario, the broader 8,875-9,000 range that has been in place for almost three weeks will remain intact.
