The market faced stiff resistance around 19,800-19,900 area, but selling pressure in the banking and financial services, oil and gas, and select technology counters weighed on the overall investor sentiment on November 17. The Nifty50 ended the week in the consolidation zone of 19,550-19,850 (support-resistance) and a breakout on either side of trade may give a firm direction to the index for the upcoming sessions, experts said.
