Speaking on the current market scenario Simi Bhaumik, a SEBI registered technical equity expert said, "Market is overall bullish but one should avoid taking any position till Nifty trades between 12,100 to 12,200. I would suggest taking any buy position when the Nifty is below 12,100 or it sustains above 12,400. Any dip in the market should be seen as a buying opportunity by stock market investors."
