Indian markets started on a strong note on Thursday followed by the positive trends seen in other Asian markets. The S&P BSE Sensex rallied more than 300 points while the Nifty50 inched closer to 17,500 in the first 15-minutes of trade.

Sectorally, rally was seen in IT, metals, capital goods, and auto while some selling was seen in realty stocks.

On the upside, Nifty50 could face some resistance near 17,500-17,525 levels while on the downside support is placed at 17,200-17,000 levels, suggested experts.

“Traders need to be very specific in the stock selection for trading and in fact look to lighten up longs in the up move from hereon,” Ruchit Jain, Lead Research, 5paisa.com, said.

“The immediate support for Nifty is placed around 17,225-17,200 below which it could then retrace the recent rally and correct towards 17,000. On the flip side, 17,465-17,525 are the resistances to watch for,” he added.
