Manish Hathiramani, technical analyst with Deen Dayal Investments said: "The Index has opened in fine form this morning. We should be targeting the level range of 15,900-16,000. The overall trend is positive and hence any intra-day correction should be positively utilised to enter into long positions."

"A good support lies at 15,300 and as long as we can hold that, there is no concern on the downside of the Nifty," he added.
