The forthcoming referendum is destined to affect the NSE, and with one month to go expect foreigners to begin taking a back seat (political risk). A market correction seems ripe in July to factor this risk.
I intend to take a back seat also and watch closely for any bargains that arise due to the referendum.
Happy hunting.
