Mumbai, Nov 11: Indian stock markets opened on a strong note on Wednesday, with benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty registering significant gains in early trading.

Commenting on Nifty technical outlook, experts said that the index continues to hold a positive technical structure, although RSI at 77.88 indicates overbought conditions and the possibility of consolidation.
