On the upside the cap is at 15000 and on the downside, the trigger point is a close below 14200. Until one of these is not taken out, it is not advisable to trade the Nifty," said Manish Hathiramani, proprietary index trader and technical analyst, Deen Dayal Investments.

The vaccines give us a clear idea of the end game and the market which always discounts the future is likely to respond positively," said V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.
