The index to move forward will require participation from the other counters to go higher towards the levels of 43,000-43,500. The lower-end immediate support stands at the 41,700-41,500 zone which should act as a cushion," said Kunal Shah, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities.
"The Nifty remained strong during the day following a gap-up start. On the daily chart, the index has moved above the previous consolidation. The trend looks positive as long as the 18,300 level is held on a closing basis. On the higher end, it may move towards 18,600 over the near term.
