The Indian markets ended positive for the fourth straight session, third consecutive this week, amid volatility and mixed global cues on Wednesday. The broader Nifty50 closed above 18, 200, while the Sensex too added nearly 550 points to end past 61,100. The Nifty closed then day at 18,212.35, while the latter settled for 61,150.04.

"The bullish momentum is continued where Nifty and Sensex end with gain for the fourth consecutive day. It was risk-on sentiment across the globe therefore high beta energy, realty, and auto stocks outperformed while defensive IT and Pharma names underperformed," said Parth Nyati, Founder, Tradingo.

He said if closing above resistance of 18200 opens the door for a fresh all-time high, however, 18342 could be an intermediate hurdle. "On the downside, 18000-17950 will act as an immediate and strong demand zone, while 17800/17640 are the next support levels," he added.
