Speaking on the current market trends; SEBI registered technical stock analyst Simi Bhaumik said, "NSE Nifty has strong support at 10,900 to 11,000 levels. Once it makes a closing above 11,200, we can expect it to shot up around 11,650 to 11,700 mark. However, if it breaks 11,000 levels and sustains below this level for an hour, we can witness further downside trends in the markets."
