In the last five sessions, the index has retraced the preceding five-day rally from10490 to 10941points.

According to the experts, volatility is likely to remain high in the coming week on account of the five state election results and the volatile global cues in the share market.

It is being expected that the index is likely to consolidate over the next few sessions in the broad range of 10500 to10941 points, thus forming a base for the next up move.  Therefore, one should stick to only quality midcap stocks to ride the next upward move.
