Review/Outlook - The Sensex has had a mixed trading session, has had a positive opening, has moved both ways, has faced selling pressure at higher levels, has come off from its intra - day high and has finally ended in negative territory on lower volume. Volatility can be the order of the day; an intra-day upside (seems like a formality) could come in above the 17301 level while significant resistance at higher levels (17620) - would limit the upside. The outlook has turned positive again while resistance comes in at the 18300+ level and support comes in at the 16600 level.
