Market Commentary: Manish Hathiramani, Owner Index Trader and Technical Analyst, Deen Dayal Investments
âThe index continues to face resistance at higher levels. The current importance level is 17,700 – we need to trade above for a positive bias to take hold. Until then, we will continue to see sideways price action. If we can break through 17,750-17,800 on the close, the Nifty will be on track to claim 1,800. 17,500 is strong support and until that doesn’t break the overall market trend is positive. “
