Sectorally, selling was seen in banking, IT, financials, real estate and auto stocks, while buying was seen in oil & gas and metals stocks.
Crucial support for the index is at the level of 17000 and further to the level of 16800, analysts note.
The highest new replenishment OI was seen at 17800 for calls and 17000 for puts on weekly and at 18000 for calls and 16000 for puts on monthly contracts.
“The failure to move above 17,690 after yesterday’s early surge suggests that the bullish momentum has weakened,” said Anand James, chief market strategist at
said.
This would mean that eyes are now on the 17470-17400 region discussed on Tuesday to see if buyers can regroup to stop the 17000-16650 drop, he added.
