The November contract opened with a bear gap of around 44 points from its previous close.

However, bears were not able to sustain their initial momentum and gave way to bulls. The contract moved within a range of around 208 points and it closed with a gain of around 90 points from its previous close.

Bull domination during the day has reversed the short position in the Nifty November contract. The long exit and short entry levels are placed quite far away from its last traded price.

These levels are unlikely to be triggered during Wednesday’s trading activity.
