The Nifty 50 futures contract opened the day with a wide 38-point gap-down. Though the contract has managed to reverse higher from the day's low of 10,835, the bounce-back move seems to be lacking in strength. The contract is reversing lower again from 10,872 and is currently trading at 10,860. This leaves the near-term bias negative. Immediate support is at 10,845. A break below it can take the index futures lower to 10,820 or 10,810.

If the index futures manage to bounce from the 10,820-10,810 support zone, an up-move to 10,850 and 10,900 is possible again. But a strong break below 10,810 will then increase the likelihood of the contract extending its down-move to 10,780.

Traders can stay out of the market until a clear trend emerges.

Strategy: Stay out of the market.

Supports: 10,845, 10,810

Resistances: 10,885, 10,900
