Speaking on the current stock market scenario SEBI registered technical equity analyst Simi Bhaumik said, "Market is trading in the range of 10,800 to 11,000 levels and all will depend on the opening bell on Monday. If it closes upward and breaks the psychological 11,000 levels and sustains above that levels, then we can further expect rally up to 11,200 to 11,250 levels. However, if it fails to retain these gains, then stock market investors are advised to maintain buy on dips strategy." She said that metals, auto, banking and financial indices would fuel the Indian indices in coming trade session as these indices have faced the maximum beating in recent few months.
