Nifty 50 continues to trade lower. The index is currently trading at 25,787, down 0.12 per cent. The advance-to-decline ratio is at 10:40. This is negative and suggests the Nifty can remain under pressure.
Nifty 50 Outlook
The near-term picture is weak. Intraday resistances are at 25,800 and 25,835. There is room for a fall to 25,700 during the day. This level of 25,700 is a crucial support. The price action around this support will need a close watch.
If Nifty manages to bounce from around 25,700, a rise back to 25,800-25,830, and even to 25,900, is a possibility in the coming sessions.
But a break below 25,700 will increase selling pressure. In such a scenario, the index can fall to 25,600-25,570 as well.
Our preference is to see the Nifty rising back from around 25,700.
Nifty 50 Futures
The Nifty 50 December Futures (25,822) is down 0.22 per cent. An important support for the day is at 25,770. We expect the contract to sustain above this support and bounce back during the day. Such a bounce could take the contract to 25,900-25,920 over the next few sessions.
A break below 25,770 will negate the above-mentioned rise to 25,900. That, in turn, will increase the risk of the fall reaching 25,600 in the coming days.
Trade strategy
High-risk appetite traders can go long on dips at 25,780. Keep the stop-loss at 25,740. Trail the stop-loss up to 25,805 as soon as the contract goes up to 25,825. Revise the stop-loss up to 25,835 when the contract touches 25,860. Exit the long positions at 25,880.
Supports: 25,770, 2,700
Resistances: 25,920, 26,000
