Speaking on the market outlook Prakash Pandey, Head of Research at Fairwealth Securities said, "Overall the market is bullish. Today's gains were mainly because of the first-day post-F&O expiry and stock market investors were taking fresh positions. As I said earlier if the Nifty sustains above 11,790 then an investor can take fresh buy position for the target of 12,000 otherwise the market is range-bound between 11,500 to 11,750."
