The market breadth of this index is biased towards advances. The near-term outlook is bullish for the Nifty futures contract. Traders with a short-term perspective can make use of dips to buy the contract while maintaining a stop-loss at 9,080 levels.

The contract can extend its up-move and test resistances at 9,125 and then at 9,145 levels. A further rally beyond 9,145 can take the contract northwards to 9,160.
