Among Sectors, Reality was the top gainer, rallied over three per cent whereas some profit booking was seen in energy and infra stocks. Technically, the index has formed small bearish candle and it also holding lower top formation which is broadly negative.
"We are of the view that, the narrow range activity is likely to continue in the near future. For the short-term traders, now 57,000 immediate support and 57,750 would be the key resistance level," says Shrikant Chauhan, head (equity research-retail), Kotak Securities.
We could expect one more-quick pullback rally till 57,400-57,500, if the Sensex succeeds to trade above 57,000, he added. On the flip side, below 57,000, further correction possible till 56,800-56,500.
In the late afternoon session, Indian equities markets pared some of their gains, but remained over the neutral line as investors kept an eye on the latest developments in the Russia-Ukraine situation.
Traders were wary after Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said the Russia-Ukraine situation and the resulting spike in global petroleum prices pose a threat to India's financial stability, analysts say.
Buyers prioritised real estate, consumer durables, and consumer discretionary counters. On the global front, Asian markets were mainly in the green, while European markets were higher, as investors saw Russian troop deployments near Ukraine and first Western penalties as providing opportunity for a war to be avoided.
