He further said that on the indicator front, the relative strength index (RSI) plotted on the daily charts is holding above the 50 mark and making a higher top, higher bottom formation, which shows positive momentum in the short term.
The immediate resistance is at 16,700 and 16,975 followed by 17,132, the market expert said, adding that the downside support for the Nifty is at 16,370, 16,000 and 15,671 levels.
