Benchmark Index Nifty 50 ended a volatile session of trade marginally higher with gains of 46 points. Further, the psychological level of 18,000 continues to act as a crucial pivot, keeping the bears active. A sustained failure to trade beyond the hurdle of 18,000-18,050 may lead to volatile sessions dragging the Index lower to levels of 17,800-17,700. On the flip side, if bulls push the Index beyond 18,000-18,050, the up move will continue taking the Index higher to levels of 18,150-18,200. Moreover, RSI has also entered a sideways consolidation phase between 50-70.
