Commenting upon the current market trends, Simi Bhaumik, a SEBI registered technical equity analyst told Zee Business Online, "The market is on upside as the Nifty has sustained above the psychological 11,000 levels for the third successive day. However, I would suggest investors to follow the buy on dips strategy till it trades in the range of 11,000 to 11,250." Bhaumik said that while taking buy on dips strategy, an investor must main a strict stop loss at around 10,970-10980 levels. On sector that would be driving the markets Simi Bhaumik said, "Technically, Reliance Industries would be a major driver for the Indian indices, but banking and IT would also fuel the bull run in coming trade sessions."
