Expect Index to pullback in wave ((ii)) to correct the cycle from December 10, 2019 low before the rally resumes. We don’t like selling the pullback. As far as pivot at 12890.56 low stays intact, dips should continue to find support in the sequence of 3, 7, or 11 swing. Potential target higher is 100% – 123.6% Fibonacci extension from December 27, 2018 low which comes at 13640 – 14204 area.
