The reaction set in the market today with the Sensex diving to a low of 3889 before recovering to close at 4039. The index opened at 4091, jumping 15 points over the previous close of 4076. It posted an intra-day high of 4113, which was 111 points higher than the previous high of 4102. The intra day low at 3889, was lower by 111 points lower than the previous low of 4000. The RSI indicator has not signalled a sell yet. The stochastic indicator has been kissing its triggerline, up and down for quite some sessions now. Unless this dips further, the technical has to be treated as just the potential for inter-day and intra day correction - not necessarily a sell signal, yet.
