CA Rudramurthy BV, Vachana Investments, says “I will be a buyer in ICICI Bank, look at the current market price of around 940 to enter, keep a strict stop loss of around 925 and look for targets of Rs 1,000 on ICICI Bank. My second buy call is on Escort. Yes, this stock has now seen over 5% correction from its higher levels where it was earlier and I will be a buyer in Escorts at current market price or on any slight dip, keep a tight stop loss of around 3,140, look at targets of 3,300 initially and even 3,500 to come on Escorts.” 19,480 was an important mark for the index given it was October lows. That seems to have been breached and we have not seen a lot of buying momentum come back. Given it is the expiry week, do you expect this sort of consolidation to continue? Definitely, yes, some amount of correction and retest of those lows of the September month series on index can definitely be seen and today, we are seeing a continued sell-off in broad-based market, both midcap as well as smallcap indexes seeing more beatings on the downside compared to what we see on the index Nifty as well as Bank Nifty.
