“The short term uptrend of Nifty remains intact with high volatility. Having placed near the crucial overhead resistance of around 16800-17000 levels, there is a possibility of further consolidation movement for the short term. Weakness from the highs can’t be ruled in the coming session. Immediate supports to be watched at 16450 levels,” said Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst, HDFC Securities.
