What Shankar Sharma’s analysis says on stock market correction
After climbing to life-time high on 1st December 2022, Indian stock market has been under sell off heat and it seems that bears have taken full control on Dalal Street. Secondary market sentiments further worsened on 15th December 2022 when new cases of Covid-19 renewed the fear of pandemic once again. This fresh fear of Coronavirus triggered profit booking leading to big fall on Sensex, Nifty and Bank Nifty indices. In fact, the sell off intensified and broad markets too got affected in fresh sell off trigger on 15th December 2022.
While some stock market experts are expecting trend reversal from Monday or Tuesday next week, ace Indian investor Shankar Sharma has shared his analysis on recent stock market correction. In his analysis of correct sell off, the Czar of small-cap and mid-cap stocks has found that recent correction in small-cap and mid-cap stocks are violent but at the same the same time he reveals that it is routine and one should not get worried much as nothing has broken from fundamental perspective.
Shankar Sharma shared his stock market analysis from his official twitter handle citing, “My analysis tells me that this is nothing but a routine, though violent, correction in mid/ small caps. Nothing is fundamentally broken.”
