However, a robust US auto sales data provided firm support.

Following an initial pullback, prices were seen resuming its downtrend in the previous session, breaking the support at 16740. While there is room for further downsides, prices are approaching towards the falling trend line support near 16400, which if held, may see a bounce back possibly to 16960 or more to 17100-17200 levels. However, it requires clearing the resistance at 17200 convincingly to lessen the prevailing negative bias. Slippage past 16400 regions may call for 16200 or more.
