Speaking on the current market scenario Prakash Pandey, MD & CEO at Plutus Advisors said, "Nifty has immediate support at 12,050 levels and has strong support at 11,900. Currently, the 50-stock index is trading in the range of 11,900 to 12,250. Once, it breaks 12,250 levels and sustains above 12,300, one can expect it to hit 12,500 levels. Overall, the market is bullish as both foreign institutional investors (FIIs) and domestic institutional investors (DIIs) are positive towards the Indian share market." He said that any dip in the market should be seen as a buying opportunity but the two support zones have to be kept in mind while taking any buy position.

Shares of IRCTC, SBI, Tata Motors, Reliance Industries, Indiabulls, Tata Consultancy Services or TCS, Bharti Airtel, Yes Bank, IndusInd Bank and Vodafone Idea were among the most trending stocks throughout the intraday trade session while shares of IndusInd Bank, Max Financial, Aurobindo Pharma and Muthoot Finance were among the most active stocks in the intraday trade session.
