Titan was the top Sensex gainer, gaining more than 4 per cent, followed by UltraTech Cement, Bajaj Finserv, Tech Mahindra, Kotak Bank and HDFC.
Gaurav Ratnaparkhi, Head of Technical Research, Sharekhan said: Nifty has crossed certain short-term barriers. It has crossed the key psychological mark of 18000, 61.8% retracement of the recent fall and a falling trendline on the hourly chart. This shows that the short-term range has shifted higher. The Nifty is expected to march towards 61.8% & 78.6% retracement of the entire decline from 18,604 to 17,613. The key Fibonacci levels are 18,225 & 18,392 respectively. On the other hand, 18,000 – 17,950 will now act as a near-term cushion.
