Nifty is undergoing a small pullback after the recent rise. 17,778-17,811 could be the resistance for the Nifty in the near term, while 17,568-17,584 band could provide support.

Manish Shah, Independent trader and coach
The larger degree trend since the last three months is sideways between 18,100-16,800. As such, the major barrier for Nifty is at 18,100. If Nifty moves above 18,100, expect it to show a fast rally from thereon.

Ajit Mishra, VP – Research, Broking
While the global markets are still not portraying any clear trend, the recent buying in heavyweights, especially from the banking pack, has lifted the sentiment. We may see some consolidation in the index ahead, but the tone is likely to remain positive. The focus should remain on identifying stocks from the sectors participating in the move without losing focus on risk management, citing volatile global markets and prevailing earnings season.
