The Nifty March month contract started the session with a gap-up open at 11,525. After marking an intra-day high at 11,526, the contract turned volatile and continues to move sideways.

The contract is range-bound between 11,475 and 11,525. As long as the contract is range-bound traders with a short-term view should tread with caution.
