The short term trend of Nifty is slightly negative amidst a range movement. Important lower supports to be watched for the resumption of downtrend is at 11000 levels. The overall pattern signal a possibility of upside bounce from here or from the lows. Immediate resistance for the next week is placed around 11300-11350.
Manish Hathiramani, proprietary index trader and technical analyst, Deen Dayal Investments
We closed within the range of 11000-11100 which means markets are still rangebound and do not have a definite direction. We should go past either level in the coming week which will result in a one way move of at least 200 points. Until then it would be a wait and watch the situation.
