The market correction being witnessed is more of a price correction than a time correction and should be considered normal, according to Gautam Shah, associate director and technical analyst at JM Financial Ltd.
“The market is extremely light on speculative positions and extremely heavy on hedge positions,” Shah told BloombergQuint in an interaction, adding that the market would be a buy again, once it reaches the 11,400 mark.
The breadth of the market is the ‘only negative’ that is discouraging presently, Shah said. He, however, expects the disconnect between mid-caps and large-caps to gradually overcome, possibly during elections. “The mid-cap index will rebound.”
