Ashish Biswas, Head of Technical Research at Capital Via Global Research Ltd: "We witnessed some lackluster movement in the market and an attempt to break the resistance level around the Nifty 50 index level of 15,300. Our research suggests, the short-term technical condition of the market appears like a sideways correction in the process. If Nifty sustains above 15,000 levels, we expect it to gain momentum and hit 15,400”.

Overall market breadth was positive as 1,786 shares ended higher.
