It could have been worse. That is what the bulls must be thinking after Monday's session in which the BSE Sensex dipped below 20,000 and the NSE Nifty fell under 6,000. But, by the close of trade, both the key indices managed to bounce back and reclaimed those crucial levels.

The BSE Sensex ended at 20,168.89, up 43 points from the previous close after being as low as 19,870. It had opened at 20,160 and touched a day's high of 20,229.
