On Friday, Nifty Midcap and Smallcap ended the with gains of around 0.6% and 0.8% respectively.  Sectorally, Nifty Metal and PSU Bank gained the most, while Media, Realty came under selling pressure.  

Investors' lack of confidence and caution in anticipation of the Fed chair's remarks led to a significant sell-off towards the close of the session, said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.

"Western markets are trading with cuts as they await clues on further policy actions by the Fed to tame elevated inflation. This is expected to impact demand. On the sectoral front, metals and PSBs led the rally, while IT turned green after continued selling pressure," he added.

Grasim, JSW Steel, NTPC, Titan Power Grid were among top gainers, while Eicher Motors, IndusInd bank and Bharti Airtel and HDFC ltd led the drag on the last trading day of the week.

  
"The benchmark index has remained volatile during the day. On the higher end, it failed to move beyond 17700. The downsides on the other hand were limited to 17500. On the daily chart, a small-bodied candle with shadows on either side has formed, suggesting an indecisiveness," said Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities. 

The trend is likely to remain sideways over the near term till Nifty remains in the range, he said. "Support on the lower end is visible at 17500/17400. On the higher end, resistance is visible at 17700," he added.
