We expect stocks like Reliance, Kotak, Tata Motors, Infosys to be in the limelight. A sustained move should be seen in Axis bank, Titan and GAIL as well.

Your mid-term view?

Given the budget is around the corner, Volatility is expected to increase while undertone is bullish. The range is likely to be 10970-10700. A break above the 10970 should see aggressive short-covering for a move to 11200.
