Speaking on the current market scenario; SEBI registered technical equity analyst Simi Bhaumik said, "The market has opened above 11,400 that means it is ehading for another high of 11,500. Overall the market sentiment is bullish and any dip in the market should be seen as a buying opportunity."

Pressing the alarm bell for mid-cap and small-cap stock traders Sameet Chavan, Chief Analyst-Technical and Derivatives at Angel Broking said, "We have seen some robust moves in a bundle of mid and small cap stocks, which was clearly missing for more than a year in pre-COVID time. So practically, they are compensating for their long underperformance. Although, there is no sign of weakness yet, we still believe that from here on one should avoid aggressive bets in midcaps. Because we can see a cluster of resistances for NIFTY MIDCAP 50, which includes a ‘200-SMA’ on a weekly chart. Hence, anytime we can see some short-term profit taking in this space." he said that any correction from hereon is considered a healthy one but for momentum traders, it’s better not to get caught on the wrong foot. "Now, as far as Nifty is concerned, we observed a ‘Bearish Wolfe Wave’ pattern on hourly chart on Wednesday and precisely from the Potential Reversal Zone of 11450, Nifty saw some decline. This pattern is still intact and the way charts are shaped up, we continue to remain cautious on benchmark," said Chavan.
