Speaking on the current market scenario Rohit Singre, Senior Technical Research Analyst at LKP Securities said, "Overall the market trend is bullish. The NSE Nifty has closed below 11,250 once again after breaking the 11,250 levels in the opening bell trade session. If the 50-stocks index manages to sustain above this 11,250 levels tomorrow, then we can expect it to go up to 11,400 to 11,500 mark in next few trade sessions." He said that Bank Nifty is in strong support zone at 21,500 to 22,000 levels and one should continue with buy on dips strategy till NSE Nifty is above 11,000 levels and Bank Nifty is above 21,500 mark.
