Speaking on the market trend Simi Bhaumik, a SEBI registered technical equity expert said, "Market is range-bound between 11,750 to 12,100. I am expecting the markets to touch 12,000 levels in few trading session and maybe we can see the markets at around 12,400 to 12,500 levels in the customary pre-budget rally, which is still awaited at the Indian indices. I would advise investors to maintain buy on dips strategy till budget 2019."
