Indian equity markets recovered sharply on April 22 on the back of positive global cues and deal between Reliance Jio and Facebook amid a gloomy economic environment.
The Sensex closed with a 743 points, or 2.42 percent, gain at 31,379.55 and the Nifty settled 206 points, or 2.29 percent, higher at 9,187.30.
"The market is likely to remain volatile and react to earnings, trends in the number of coronavirus cases, crude oil prices, currency movements and global events. Any announcement from the government with regard to an economic stimulus package could provide some interim relief," said Siddhartha Khemka, Head - Retail Research, Motilal Oswal Financial Services.
"Technically, immediate resistance for the Nifty is placed around 9,400, while support is moving higher to 9,000 levels from the previous key level of 8,900-8,800. Considering the overall chart structure, we may see indextrading in a broader range of 8,900 to 9,400 in coming sessions,” Khemka said.
