The fast-moving consumer goods company Hindustan Unilever Limited shares were the top gainer in the 30-share Sensex. THe HUL shares were up over 5 per cent and were followed by Tata Steel, SBI, IndusInd Bank, Axis Bank. 

The midcap and small cap indices each jumped by over 1 per cent in the broader markets.  

Indian markets have made a strong recovery emerging from the aftershocks of the Russia-Ukraine Conflict market expert Santosh Meena, Head of Research at Swastika Investmart Ltd said. 

“The outcome of state election results is also acting as a tailwind for the Indian equity market however it has the impact of only one day and the main focus of the market will remain on the Russia-Ukraine issue because there are still uncertainties,” the market analyst added. 

Technically, Nifty witnessed a smart pullback from the 15700 level however 16800-17000 is a critical supply area that Nifty must take out for any trend reversal otherwise there is a risk of sell-off after this pullback, according to Meena.   

On the downside, 16500-16400 is an immediate support zone while 16000/15500 is the next critical support level. If Nifty manages to take out the 17000 level, then the bulls will be back in the game where 17300/17500 are the next resistance levels, he further added.
