Mumbai: THE narrow range activity continues but the index recovered sharply from 49,100 support levels. Today, the Sensex opened with a positive note and strong buying interest helped the index rally over 450 points.

Among sectors, after RBI monetary policy, strong buying interest was seen in PSU Bank stocks and the Bank Nifty index.

"We are of the view that after a long time, banking stock is witnessing buying interest and the texture suggested for the next few trading sessions, 32,500 would be the strong support zone for the Bank Nifty. Trading above the same we can expect strong pullback rally till 34,000-34,300," says Shrikant Chouhan, EVP (equity technical research), Kotak Securities.

Meanwhile, technically, the Sensex is still trading within a narrow range. On the higher side 50,250 would be the immediate hurdle for the Sensex, above the same we can expect one more uptrend up to 50,800-51,200.

On the flip side, 49,400 could be the immediate support for the bulls, below the same sharp intraday correction up to 48,800 is not ruled out.
