Market traded with strong bullish sentiments after US presidential elections, as US indices rallied more 7 per cent in past week. Nifty is likely to face support at 12,100 this week. Nifty closed at 12,263.50, adding143.20 points on Friday. Private banks, financial services and realty stocks traded with positive sentiments whereas pharma and FMCG indices closed with red mark with marginal loss. Nifty bank closed at 26,798.95, adding 485.85 points from the previous day's closing.

As per weekly option data, heavy put writing on lower strikes ranging from 12,000 to 12,200 is witnessed which shows Nifty might face support in the zone of 12,100.12,000 might act as an immediate support as maximum put OI is placed here for weekly expiry.
