Anand James – Chief Market Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, said: “Rise in VIX may allow for a pull back, without quite confirming an upside reversal. The 18,000 region is a critical level to such an event, which could again force a turn lower. If such declines do not force beyond 17670 oreven 18800, expect a turn higher again which could aimfor 18,100 or even 18,250.”
