Vaishali Parekh, Vice President — Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher believes that Nifty is standing at crucial support of 17,300 levels. Prabhudas Lilladher expert said that 50-stock index breaching below this level may trigger fresh weakness on Dalal Street that may end at around 16,800 levels. However, Vaishali Parekh is expecting pull back in Bank Nifty index as some of the frontline banking stocks like SBI, Kotak Mahindra Bank, ICICI Bank are showcasing possible upside movement on the chart pattern.

The slide continues for the 7th consecutive sessions as of now and from here a decisive breach below 17,300 can trigger for further slide with next major support visible near 16,800 zone.”
