Short- term trend is bullish as long as support 97.80 holds. The index has closed above 98 levels for the past four trading days and any break above 98.53 will take the index till 98.93. The decline from 103.65 will stop at 88.25 only if the index breaks above 99.25 (trend line resistance).

It is good to buy on dips around 98.15-20 with SL around 97.80 for the TP of 99.25.
