'As long as Nifty is above 11,520, can trade with buy on dip strategy'

Bank Nifty hit record high of 30,648 levels last week and managed to close above psychological levels of 30,000 suggesting positive bias in short term as well as in mid-term. Moreover, the sharp upswing appears to have brought the index into an overbought zone which suggests some cooling off of oscillators in the near term.

Sustained trade above 29,500 levels is a good opportunity to trade with buy on dip strategy whereas a close below 29,000 will only change the current trend.
