"Technically, there has been no significant change in the chart structure as the index subsides within the key range. However, the buying emergence in the broader market could be seen as a constructive development for the participants and withheld the hope of revival in the comparable period. From the technical aspect, the key support is placed around the 17000-16950 zone, followed by the sacrosanct support of 16900-16850. While on the flip side, surpassing the sturdy hurdle of 17100-17200 is a daunting task for the bulls and until it gets decisively breached, the index is likely to remain in the consolidation zone," said Osho Krishan, Sr. Analyst - Technical & Derivative Research.
BSE companies gained market capital of over Rs 3 Lakh crore, biggest single day gain in three weeks.
