"Fundamentals, technicals and sentiments turning favourable at the same time are rare in the market.  This is what has happened now. The market went into the big event, elections, very light with Nifty correcting around 600 points from the May highs. Profit booking also happened on a large scale. The short position in the market also is high. All these are going to change dramatically. DIIs, HNIs, retail ...are all going to turn buyers. Short-covering can add to the momentum," said Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.

Dr. V K Vijayakumar added the rally is likely to be led by largecaps. Stocks like RIL, ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, Kotak Bank, Axis Bank, Bajaj Finance, Bharti Airtel, L & T, M&M, Tata Motors, Bajaj Auto, Eicher Motors are fundamentally strong largecaps with potential to lead the rally. IT stocks like TCS, Infy, HCL Tech, Coforge, Persistent and L&T Tech offer contrarian buying opportunities.

The GDP numbers which came on Friday were better than expected with 8.2% growth. This will provide fundamental support to the market. S&P’s upward revision of India’s rating outlook also is positive.
