The Sensex rose 131.27 points or 0.76%, to close at 17,431.85 while the Nifty went up 34.20 points or 0.65%, to end at 5,269.90 after hitting an intraday low of 5,225.75. Global cues too were positive, tracking better than expected manufacturing data in US and UK yesterday.

The market closed higher for third consecutive session, though it erased some gains post Supreme Court's verdict on 2G case. Capital goods, technology, private banks and metals stocks, and Bharti Airtel helped the market. However, fall in Reliance and SBI trimmed gains in the last trading hours.

Nifty is looking bullish in its next trading session if it manages to trade above the resistance level of 5355 else below the support level of 5185 it would be a down trend.
