All eyes on RPOWER. 5000 of Nifty is crucial.

After the record public issue, Reliance Power is going to be listed today. All are watching with anxiety on the price of listing. When the issue starts, it was expected that 900 may be the listed price. But now the speculation in grey market points to a 550-650 range of listing. The performance of RPOWER will influence in the secondary market today. It will be an indicative for the investor's confidence.

Nifty levels of 5000, 5100 are very important. 5100 was broken yesterday but managed to close above that level. Below 5000 level, we can see some panic and unwinding of long positions from medium term investors. So, 5000 must be protected at any cost...
