Since the start of 2015 there has being the curiosity regarding the market. The market has shown a bullish trend so far. This has led to a state of of confusion among the investors which way to go. The investor are not able to decide whether to to buy a raising share which cannot be predicted how and when it would change its trend. This is same the case with the falling shares as they might fall further.

So there is a good news and a bad news:

The good news is that the market is likely to continue its bullish trend and we might witness a new high. The current trend and the past history analysis show that we may have rise in Nifty and Sensex by 1000 and 1500 respectively in 2015. 

The bad new cannot be stated as bad but still the truth is that the market will be more volatile and it would be hard to predict the trend. Though the volatile market also give an ample opportunity to gain handsome profit the investors shouldn't rely only on the goodwill of the stocks.

Few facts to be considered:

2. The new budget in February is likely to show changes in the interest rates.
3. More buyers are expected due to splitting of shares as the prices will suit the buyers capacity.
4. Global scenario will also have an impact as the China market may face a stagnant phase and the American market may see a slow rise.
5. India might have decline in the inflation rate which as a result will show positive results.
