Giving his views on the current market trend Mehul Kothari, Senior Technical Analyst at IndiaNivesh told Zee Business online, "In the upcoming session, 11,100 to 11,000 might act as a strong base for the bulls and hence traders can use a dip from here to initiate fresh long positions. Short term traders can follow a stop of 11000 but traders willing to hold positions with regards to election verdict might accumulate the index but with a stop loss below 10,700." Kothari of IndiaNivesh further added that on the upside 11,300 might now act as an immediate hurdle for the bulls. A close above the same might confirm a bottom in place. We advise traders to avoid over-leveraged positions and follow strict stop loss.
