Nifty 50 is managing to stay afloat after witnessing a sharp intraday fall on Thursday. The index fell to a low of 25,840 in the initial trades and then has risen back well from there. It is currently trading almost flat at 25,896. The advances/declines ratio is at 26:24. This will need a close watch. If the trend tilts in favour of the declines, then Nifty can fall back again during the day.
Nifty 50 Outlook
Nifty has to rise above 25,950 in order to regain strength and go up to 26,100 again. Failure to rise above 25,950 can keep the index under pressure. In that case, a fall to 25,800-25,750 cannot be ruled out.
However, from a big picture, the 25,800-25,750 is a strong support zone which can limit the downside. A fall beyond 25,750 is unlikely. As such, even if the Nifty falls from here, there are good chances for it to reverse higher from the 25,800-25,750 region again. That in turn will keep the broader uptrend intact and take the index up to 26,000 and higher again.
Nifty 50 Futures
The Nifty 50 October Futures (25,898) is down 0.3 per cent. An intraday fall to 25,800 looks likely now. The price action thereafter will need a close watch. If the contract manages to bounce back from 25,800, a rise to 25,900-26,000 is possible during the day.
But a break below 25,800 will increase the downside pressure and drag the contract down to 25,700-25,680.
For now, we can allow for a fall to 25,800 and then watch the price action.
Trade Strategy
Although the contract can fall from here, considering the risk/reward ratio we suggest traders to stay out of the market. See how the market closes for the week today. Trades can be taken accordingly next week.
Supports: 25,800, 25,700
