Gaurav Ratnaparkhi, Head of Technical Research, Sharekhan by BNP Paribas said, “The Nifty witnessed a strong bounce in the week gone by, which has brought the index to a crucial resistance zone of 17500-17600.”

The recent past shows that the index had stumbled near this barrier, which had attracted selling pressure. This time, the key DMAs are also near this zone thus putting additional pressure on the index. So the Nifty is consolidating near this hurdle for the last couple of sessions, he added.

Structurally, the consolidation can continue for some more time before the Nifty prepares for the next leg on the upside, the market analyst said in his comment.

The index can take a dip towards 17300-17250 in order to fill up a recent gap area on the daily chart. On the other hand, once the level of 17600 is crossed on a closing basis, it will make a room for the Nifty to take a shot at 18000 subsequently, Ratnaparkhi said.
