- Finally as we have been saying private banks come to the party and Reliance popping up the index to 24k levels 
- Mid and Small caps after a long while played second fiddle 
- Nasdaq closes in on 18k levels 
- As we cross 24k, there is a possibility Nifty might continue to move higher to our earlier target levels of 25k-26k (Mentioned in our annual note) – However we continue to believe that the current upside could be led by private banks and Reliance which have under participated 
- We at current levels are now wary of individuals putting in new moneys (especially ones who are already fairly invested into equities) 

Shall I stop my STP’s now?
Our Answer:
As the markets come close to 24k Nifty levels, they trade at almost 23 times (Nifty 50) and 26 times (Nifty 500). Though we remain categorically bullish over the next 2-3 years backed by strong tailwinds of demographics, liquidity and reforms, the short term texture looks overdone and hence we recommend a pause of any further STP's for investors who are high on equity i.e. They are close or beyond their equity allocation limits.
