However, the Nifty recovered smartly from lower levels at the fag end of the session and closed at day's high. The index closed with marginal loss at 12,343.30, shedding 19 points. Realty, Automobiles along with media stocks traded with positive sentiments through the day whereas, private banks witnessed pressure in the Wednesday session.

As per weekly option data, handful of call writing on higher strikes ranging from 12,350 to 12,500 is seen which indicates that Nifty is witnessing stiff resistance in the sub-12,400 zones. Market is likely to trade in the range of 12,250 to 12,400 until 12,400 level is breached as it holds highest call OI. Traders should try to buy at any dip by keeping close eye on 12,300 as it holds highest put OI for the weekly expiry. However, if Nifty is able to breach 12380, it will lead to short covering move up to 12,460. Therefore, traders should try to buy dip keeping close eye on 12,300.
