Weekly Market Review
The Nifty advanced 0.4% during the week, carrying the positive momentum for the seventh consecutive week. During the week, Nifty hit an all-time high of 11,761 on April 3, even though fell about 120 bps by the close of the day.

The market status remained unchanged. After we moved the status to a Rally Attempt, the market failed to give a follow-through day. We will look for a legitimate follow-through day on the Nifty before we upgrade the market to a Confirmed Uptrend.
