The Nifty, after opening sharply higher above the 11,400 mark, extended its rally to move near its intraday record high and finally ended at record closing high on Friday, driven by broad-based buying.

The index formed a bullish candle on daily candlestick charts and the weekly scale. It closed half a percent higher for the truncated week.

The broader markets also participated in the rally, with the Nifty Midcap index rising over a percent, and all sectoral indices ending in the green. Nifty Bank, and the FMCG, metal and pharma indices rose 1-2 percent.

The Nifty started off the session at 11,437.15 and rallied further during the day to touch an intraday high of 11,486.45. But it failed to reclaim its intraday record high of 11,495.20 seen on August 9. The index ended at record closing high of 11,470.75, up 85.70 points.

According to Pivot charts, the key support level is placed at 11,439.57, followed by 11,408.33. If the index starts moving upwards, key resistance levels to watch out are 11,494.27 and 11,517.73.

The Nifty Bank index closed at 28,128.55, up 302 points on Friday. The important Pivot level, which will act as crucial support for the index, is placed at 27,995.54, followed by 27,862.47. On the upside, key resistance levels are placed at 28,219.93, followed by 28,311.27.
