Nifty: The index could rally sharply if 17,200 is taken out

"The Nifty index witnessed sideways momentum throughout the day but the index managed to close in green. The index remains in a buy-on-dip mode as long as the index stays above 17,000. The immediate hurdle on the upside is at 17,200 where the highest open interest is built up on the call side. The index once surpassed the resistance will witness a sharp move on the upside toward the 17,500 level."

COMMENT:: An an in-line and less hawkish policy stance by Fed will attract bulls

"Staying afloat in a volatile trade, the domestic market managed to remain positive, with the optimism that global banking system issue is behind us. Additionally, the volatility brought in from western markets ahead of the announcement of Fed policy and release of high UK inflation, tested market sentiments. The market has factored a 25 bps rate hike by Fed, and an in-line and less hawkish policy stance will attract bulls."

Bank Nifty:: Breakout above 40,000 could induce a rally up to 41,000

"The Bank Nifty index has remained mostly sideways as the investors preferred waiting until after the Federal Reserve meeting on the rates and the follow-up commentary, which is more important. On the higher end, the index has found resistance at the 14DMA during the day's trade. The momentum indicator is in bullish crossover. A decisive breakout above 40,000 may induce a rally in the index, above which the index may move up towards 40,500/41,000 over the near term. On the lower end, support lies at 39,500."
