"In our view, the index was trading around previous low supports and momentum readings were quite oversold, so the relief rally was much needed, which was seen today. For a change in trend, the market must confirm with a higher high lower structure which has not yet been seen and until then should be viewed as a pullback move Immediate resistance will be seen in the 16350-16400 range where the 38 retracement .2% of the recent correction coincides with the 89 hourly EMA. On the flip side, as the market rallied today, option sellers in the options segment went to hedge their positions while additions were seen in 16,000 puts, so 16,000 now becomes immediate short-term support," added Ruchit Jain of 5paisa.com.
