Speaking on the current market scenario Prakash Pandey, Head of Research at Fairwealth Securities said, "The market is not moving since yesterday due to the DHFL crisis. The asset book size of the crisis is to the tune of around Rs 1 lakh crore but the SBI has come forward to the rescue of the NBFC and hence we can expect some recovery into the market in next few sessions." He said that the market is range-bound and it's currently trading in between 11,800 to 11,950 citing, "Any dip of around 20-25 points from today's close would be a good buying option on Monday. Stock market investors can take a buy position at that levels for the target of 11,950 but must maintain a stop loss below 11,750 levels."
