"The Nifty attempted a bounce in the week gone-by, however faced resistance near the 20 DMA & 61.8% retracement of the Jan decline i.e. near 17770. Thereon it has stepped into a consolidation mode," said Gaurav Ratnaparkhi, Head of Technical Research, Sharekhan by BNP Paribas.
"On the way down it has broken the key hourly & the daily moving averages as well as broken down from a rising channel on the hourly chart."
"Going ahead, 17400 is a key support to watch out for below which the index can test 17200 in the short term. On the other hand, 17800 will act as the upper end of the short term consolidation range," Ratnaparkhi added.
The BSE Midcap index rose 2.3 percent supported by Jindal Steel & Power, Info Edge India, Canara Bank, TVS Motor Company, Steel Authority of India, PI Industries, Biocon, United Breweries and Torrent Power.

"The equity market continued to be in the grip of extreme volatility, which has been a continuous feature of the markets during the whole week," said Joseph Thomas, Head of Research, Emkay Wealth Management.
"The concerns over rising interest rates in the US, the likely Fed rate action, the build- up of political and military tensions in Eastern Europe, and the adverse effects of the new variant of the pandemic, are all factors that worked on the minds of the investors. These factors, by their very nature, are likely to influence the markets in the coming weeks too," he added.
