Broad market may continue uptrend

Yesterday, with strong buying support, Nifty could break the resistance and closed at a strong position. So we expect the uptrend will continue for short term. On some profit taking, Nifty may test supports at 4620 and 4595, which can be treated as a healthy correction is broad market. The major resistance is expected at 4700-4730 zone. A closing above 4730 can give a medium term uptrend breakout.
