However, despite the negative IIP data, markets recovered sharply came as a surprised to everybody. If one can look through the technical chart for past few days markets are making a doji candle-- suggesting market is waiting for a breakout to either side," said Sanjay Rao, analyst at Spark Advisory.

Given the rising signs of slowdown Indian government is likely to announce a strong stimulus package to boost the economy. However, some analysts are feeling that this is a distribution stage and one can expect a bigger fall in near term.
