Sahaj Agrawal, Kotak Securities:
After a strong rally seen in the recent past Nifty currently is in consolidation phase. Tech parameters suggest possibility of extended consolidation before the up move resumes. We continue to believe the bias remains positive and suggest buying on dips.
Meaningful support on the downside is seen at 11,200-11,300; expect volatility to remain high in the near term. On the higher side we would expect 12,300-12,500 on Nifty. Banking is expected to witness some profit booking while metals and select auto stocks trade with a positive bias.
