Nifty 50 continues to trade under pressure. It has come down giving back all the gains after making a high of 25,929 in the early trades. The index is currently trading flat at 25,855. The advances/declines ratio is at 23:27. This will need close watch to see whether the trend is tilting more towards the declines or shifting to advances.
Nifty 50 outlook
The near-term bias remains negative. Resistance is in the 25,950-25,970 region. Above that, 26,030 is the next important resistance for the day. Nifty can test 25,800-25,780 during the day. A break below 25,780 will then trigger an extended fall to 25,720-25,700 today.
A decisive rise above 26,030 is needed to give some breather for the index to see 26,100 and higher levels on the upside.
Nifty 50 futures
The Nifty 50 December futures (25,940) is flat. The contract has come down from the high of 26,004.90.
Immediate support is at 25,900. A break below it can drag the contract down to 25,800 during the day.
But, if the contract manages to bounce back from around 25,900, then a rise to 26,000 can be seen. A decisive break above 26,000 is needed to go further higher towards 26,080-26,100.
The price action around 25,900 will need a close watch during the day.
Trade strategy
The direction of move for the day will depend on what happens to the support at 25,900. So, we suggest traders to stay out of the market for now. Trades can be taken based on whether the contract is breaking below 25,900 or rising back from that support.
Supports: 25,900, 25,800
Resistances: 26,000, 26,080
