The candle pattern, along with position of leading indicators, suggests it may once again challenge its critical support of 10,700. Successful breakdown of 10,700 may unfold next leg of down move towards 10,670 and 10,650. Hence, staying cautious below 10,700 is advised. On the flip side, 10,750 and 10,810 may continue to act as critical resistances.

On the Nifty hourly chart, it ended nearer to its 200 EMA placed around 10,700 levels. The relative strength index continues making lower lows. The chart pattern suggests that a break down below 200 EMA is likely. The next downside support is placed around 10,670 and 10,650 levels.
