Speaking on the Indian stock market; Prakash Pandey; MD & CEO at Plutus Advisors said, "Market is witnessing profit-booking after making top-out at around 9,800 levels. Nifty is still having strong support at 9,000 levels and now, if the Nifty breaks 9,500 it can go for the next top out at around 10,800 levels, however, if it goes below 9,000 then it can make its bottom at 8,555."

Deepak Jasani, Head Retail Research at HDFC Securities said, "Technically, with the Nifty correcting further after the sharp correction seen in the previous session, the bears remain in control for the near term. Further downsides are likely once the immediate support of 9,191 is broken towards 8,909. Any pullback rallies could find resistance at 9,396."
