Speaking on the current market scenario; SEBI registered technical stock analyst Simi Bhaumik said, "The NSE Nifty has shot up above 11,600. Now, there can be some profit-booking at around 11,650 levels as it has strong resistance at this level. So, one should avoid taking any position here and wait for either breakage of the resistance or some correction after the profit-booking trigger."
