Nifty technical view: “A small positive candle was formed on the daily chart with long upper shadow. Technically, the market is placed at the broader high low range of 17350-17750 levels and consolidation movement with volatility is likely in the coming sessions. After reacting down from the important trend line resistance at 17900 levels in the last month, the Nifty made another attempt towards the hurdle of trend line around 17800 levels on Tuesday before witnessing another round of selling pressure from the highs on Tuesday. The short term trend remains range bound with high volatility,” said Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst, HDFC Securities

Levels to watch out for: “Technically, 17450 would be the important support level while 17700 could be the immediate hurdle for the market. Below 17450, the Nifty could slip till 17350-17300. On the flip side, a fresh uptrend is possible only after the 17700 range breakout. Above the same, the index could move up to 17820-17850,” said Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research (Retail), Kotak Securities.

Nifty Bank outlook: “Immediate support for Bank Nifty is placed at 38,850 to 38,900 levels whereas the banking index is facing hurdle at 39,800 to 39,850 that means the index is expected to trade in near 1,000 range on Friday session,” said Vaishali Parekh, Vice President – Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher said.
