Technical View
The market may move sideways in the coming week but long term trend remains bullish, analysts said.

Nagaraj Shetti - Technical Research Analyst, HDFC securities said, "The short term trend of Nifty is weak, minor upside bounce is expected next week before showing further weakness. A sustainable move below the key support of 11,760 levels could have further negative impact on the market ahead."

Mehul Kothari, Senior Technical Analyst, IndiaNivesh Securities said, "The index has been facing selling pressure every time it clears the 12K mark. At this juncture, Nifty is hovering just above the decisive support of 11,830. On the upside, 11,920 might act as an intermediate resistance for the coming session. A move above the same might bring the momentum back in the favour of bulls."

Market View
Hemang Jani, Head - Advisory, Sharekhan by BNP Paribas said, "Benchmark indices ended the week on a positive note amid volatility. The global uncertainties remains the key risk to Indian equities though markets would also react to initial policy signals especially Union Budget to be presented in July.
