After showing weakness with range-bound action in the last couple of sessions, the NSE Nifty 50 shifted into a sharp upside bounce on Wednesday and closed the day higher by 157 points. After opening on a negative note, the market slipped into further weakness soon after the initial hours of trade. It later shifted into a sustainable upside recovery from the day’s low of 16438 levels. The upside momentum continued for rest of the session and Nifty finally closed near the highs.
The sharp upside bounce of Wednesday opens a possibility of reversal on the upside after the higher bottom formation. Hence, one may expect the Nifty to advance towards the crucial resistance zone of around 16800-16850 levels in the short term. Immediate support is placed at 16580 levels.
