Present upmove is in line with the formation of lower top of the pattern. But, there is no confirmation of any lower top reversal yet at the highs.
The pullback rally continued in the market for second session and the Nifty is now entering a crucial overhead resistance of around 17000-17200 levels. There is a higher possibility that Nifty could reverse down from near this hurdle in the next few sessions. Immediate support is placed at 16830 levels.
