ANIL SINGHVI MARKET STRATEGY

The market wizard believes a strong support zone for the Nifty 50 exists at 17,800-18,000 levels, with the first sign of weakness expected below 18,000. One can expect strong follow-up moves once the Nifty 50 and the Nifty Bank close above the 18,250 and 43,350 levels respectively.

Singhvi is of the view that the dips should be utilised to buy midcap and smallcap shares.
