    • Index on Wednesday traded in a 200 points range with high volatility and closed on a flat note. In the process it formed a doji candle signaling consolidation for the second session in a row after Monday's strong up move

    • Going ahead, Nifty is expected to extend last 6 sessions consolidation in the range of 24,550-23,800.
