Benchmark Index Nifty50 shut shop marginally in the green on Thursday forming a higher low after two days of profit booking and lower lows. For the week, Nifty ended trade on an absolutely flat note. Further, the index has entered a sideways consolidation phase following its recent uptrend. Immediate hurdle on the upside is at 17,400-17,430 being cluster of recent highs and immediate support is at 17,260-17,200 levels. A sustained trade beyond the upper end of the range i.e. 17,400-17,430 will resume the uptrend taking the Index higher to levels of 17,550. However, failure to break out of the 17,430 resistance zone can trigger profit booking dragging the Index lower to levels of 17,260-17,200 being lower end of the range. Technical Indicator RSI on the daily time frame remains in an overbought territory suggesting that sideways consolidation phase could continue before breaking out of the hurdle at 17,430.
