After three consecutive days of losses, the Indian market benchmark Sensex settled in the green on January 23, supported by select heavyweights such as Infosys, Larsen & Toubro and ICICI Bank.

Market experts attributed the rebound in the market to the modest fall in crude oil prices and positive Q3 earnings by some bluechip companies, including L&T and Axis Bank.

The BSE Sensex rose 271 points to 41,386 while Nifty 50 closed with gains of 73 points at 12,180.

"Weekly index options expiry, modest fall in crude oil price and a sharp upsurge in Larsen & Toubro stock post the results helped bulls maintain positive sentiment in the market," said Shrikant Chouhan, Senior Vice-President - Equity Technical Research at Kotak Securities.

Chouhan said since Nifty has held the important level of 12,100 on the day of weekly expiry - which is broadly positive - a pullback rally towards 12,230 is expected. A further uptrend may also continue which could lift the index to 12,350 level, he said.
