Sectorally, all indices were in the green with metal, pharma, media, PSU banks leading the surge in the market, while FMCG, financial services, auto and banking indices also closed higher.

Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research (Retail), Kotak Securities Ltd said, “Buying in late trades helped the market to recover from the intraday volatile sessions. Nifty found support near 17200 and reversed sharply.”

“The short-term formation is still on the weaker side, but due to the extremely oversold situation, the market registered a technical bounce back. It has also formed a bullish candle, indicating further upside from current level,” the analyst said.

“For day traders, 17400 would be the key level to watch out for. Above the same, a pullback rally can continue up to 17600-17650 levels. On the flip side, below 17400, there is a strong possibility of one more leg of correction till 17330-17280,” Chouhan added.
