After a brief lull, the markets bounced back with a 2.5% gain for the week, driven by positive inflows from foreign institutional investors, strong corporate results, and a decline in crude oil prices.

Meanwhile, according to OI analysis, 17,800 and 18,250 are the critical levels to monitor next week.
