The Bank Nifty index witnessed a smart recovery from the lower levels, said Kunal Shah, Senior Technical & Derivative Analyst at LKP Securities. "The index, however, needs to close above the level of 35000 to resume the move towards the level of 36000," he said.  

Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities said Nifty found support at 16000 as it closed at 175 points off the day's low. "On the daily chart, a large lower wick indicates buying at the lower level. On the higher end, the Nifty is likely to move towards 16400. On the lower end, support is seen at 16100/15950," he said.  

Meanwhile, on Thursday, Asian markets declined in the early trade as Japanese Nikkei 225 was down 0.9%, Hang Seng Index at the Hong Kong Exchange dropped 1% and Chinese Shanghai Composite was trading with a 0.3% cut around 8.30 am.
