This up move in Nifty may continue tomorrow till its next resistance range of 17,650-17,000. Overall trend in Nifty is weak and traders are suggested not to create new long positions in this pull back. High risk traders can consider new long around 17,400-17,350 levels keeping 17,200 as a strict stoploss."
Sachin Gupta, AVP, Research, Choice Broking said, "Technically, the Nifty has pulled up with the support of the Lower Bollinger Band formation and closed above 17,500 levels. The indicator Stochastic has also reversed from the oversold territory with positive crossover, which indicates bullish strength in the index. At present, the Nifty has immediate support at 17,350 levels while resistance at 17,650 levels. On the other hand, Bank Nifty has support at 37,000/36,650 levels and resistance at 38,000 levels."

Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research (Retail), Kotak Securities Ltd., said, "On the last day of November F&O series, markets rebounded sharply, largely supported by gains in Reliance Industries Ltd. Technically, Nifty has formed a strong bullish candle and at the same time it is consistently taking support between 17,400 to 17,350 levels. We are of the view that the intraday support has now shifted to 17,450 from 17,350 and as long as its trading above 17,450 the uptrend wave will persist up to 17,600-17,700. On the flip side, below 17450, the uptrend would be vulnerable."
