Investor Takeaway

After a prolonged period of dullness and volatility, the markets finally seemed to be heading in the right direction. If there are no adverse developments, the indices could soon reclaim the pre-March levels. However, investors should wait for a few days and let the indices surpass crucial resistance zones before taking fresh long positions.
