Here's a look at what analysts said about the direction the market is likely to take today.
Prashanth Tapse - Research Analyst, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities
"Technically speaking, the downside risk for Nifty is now seen limited at the make-or-break support at 17,017 mark. We expect Nifty bulls to aim for 17,500-17,707 zone in the near term."
Apurva Sheth, Head of Market Perspectives, Samco Securities
"The bulls are expected to maintain 17,000 for October before attempting to retest at 18,100. Short-term resistance is positioned at 17,500 levels. Nifty50 closed the week at 17314.65, up 1.29%."
Mohit Nigam, Head - PMS, Hem Securities
"On the technical front, immediate support and resistance in Nifty 50 are 17,200 and 17,500 respectively. Bank Nifty immediate support and resistance are 39,000 and 39,800, respectively."
Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst, HDFC Securities
"The underlying uptrend of Nifty remains intact. The consolidation movement may be extended in the early part of next week and the market could eventually witness sharp upside bounce from the lows by next week. A decisive upside breakout of the hurdle of 17,450 is likely to pull Nifty towards another important resistance of 18,000-18,100 levels. Immediate support is placed at 17,200 levels."
