Elaborating on the technical charts of the stock market after the closing bell session Simi Bhaumik, a SEBI registered technical equity analyst said, "Nifty is in the range of 10,900 to 11,250. I have been maintaining that 11,250 is strong resistance and once it breaks these levels, we can expect the next target of 11,450-500 levels. But, till it breaks these levels, a stock market investor should look every dip as a buying opportunity because overall the market is bullish."
