Buy these two shares for gains while bulls attempt a comeback, resistance at 17650

By Nagaraj Shetti

After showing a sustainable upside bounce on Tuesday, the Nifty shifted into a consolidation with a positive bias on Wednesday and closed the day higher by 27 points. After opening on a negative note, the market showed intraday volatility throughout the day. Upside momentum got strengthened during later part of the day and the Nifty closed near the highs.

The market is in an attempt of a comeback from the lows and further sustainable up-move from here could bring bulls into a driver’s seat. Immediate resistance is to be watched at 17650 and a sustainable move above this area is expected to pull Nifty towards another hurdle of 17850 levels in the short term.
