According to Ajit Mishra, VP- Technical Research, Religare Broking, the recent price action on the benchmark front indicates uncertainty among the participants, which might continue in the near term as well.

He said that traders should maintain their focus more on identifying opportunities in the sectors that are showing resilience.
