The domestic equity market on Thursday snapped the five-day losing streak as benchmark Sensex recouped its lost ground and closed 78 points higher on fag-end value buying in banking, energy and financial stocks. A positive opening in the European market boosted investor sentiments even as clouds hovered over the health of the global banking system amid Credit Suisse woes and bank failures in the US.

Nifty at the close ended just shy of 17,000 level.

“The larger degree lower tops and bottoms continued in the Nifty as per daily chart and Thursday's swing low of 16,850 levels could be considered as a new lower bottom of the sequence. Further, upside from here could confirm this reversal pattern and that could possibly open a sustainable upside bounce for the short term. A decisive move above the immediate hurdle of 17,200 is expected to bring a strong bounce in the market ahead. Immediate support is at 16,850 levels,” said Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities.
