Speaking on the current market scenario Simi Bhaumik, a SEBI registered technical equity analyst said, "Overall market is bullish. Currently, it is facing resistance at 11,500 levels but has strong support at 11,250. Once, it breaks the upper resistance, we can expect further 150-200 points upside movement but till then, every dip should be seen as a buying opportunity."
