Market view by Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services.
A distinct change in the long-term market trend is discernible from the recent market movements. The overarching trend that took the Nifty from the COVID low of 7511 in March 2020 to above 26200 in September 2024 has been the -buy on dips- strategy that worked well consistently. With the massive, sustained and unprecedented selling by the FIIs, which has touched Rs 98085 crores this month up to 24th, the buy on dips strategy is not working.
