S&P BSE SENSEX:  The overall trend remains bullish above the closing basis support 51,000 levels. Going forward, a sustained move above the immediate support of 51,500 may see resumption of the upward trend towards, which can take the index to 53,000 and then 53,700 levels. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is well positioned with a positive crossover, suggesting the momentum is likely to stay positive. CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART
