After a positive start, the Nifty hit a high of 10,851 on Monday, but most gains were erased in the last hour of trade. The index finally settled at 10,787, up 0.2 percent on Monday.
Though the Nifty managed to close above the resistance zone of 10,760-10,770, it has formed a Gravestone Doji candlestick pattern on the daily chart, which is a reversal pattern. The index needs to hold above 10,760 levels and let buying emerge for the market to rally towards 10,860-10,929 levels.
On the downside, if the Nifty trades below 10,760 it is likely to test 10,710-10,695 support levels. A break below this could take the index towards 10,550 levels.
In futures and options, maximum put open interest was seen at the strike price 10,600 followed by 10,700. The same for calls stood at 11,000. Put additions were seen at 10,800 and 10,700, while call unwinding was seen at 11,000 strikes.
