Speaking on the current market scenario Simi Bhaumik, a SEBI registered technical equity analyst said, "The market is range-bound and currently, the stock market of India is in the range of 11,000 to 11,250. So, any dips should be seen as a buying opportunity. If the market breaks the lower range and sustains below that level then we can witness further downside for next 100-150 points while on the upper side, if the market breaks the higher range and sustains above 11,300 levels, then we can expect some fresh buying for 11,500 levels."
