The Nifty futures contract opened with an upward gap at 9,958 levels. After marking an intra-day high of 9,982, the contract began to decline on the back of selling pressure. It recorded an intra-day low of 9,947 and tests a key support at 9,950 levels.

The market breadth is slightly biased towards advances. Traders with a near-term perspective should tread with caution and can consider initiating fresh short positions only if the contract declines below 9,950 levels with a fixed stop-loss.

The contract can decline and test supports at 9,930 and 9,910 levels in the near term. On the other hand, a strong rally beyond 9,980 can bring back the bullish momentum and push the contract higher to 10,000 levels.

The next key resistance is at 10,025 and 10,050 levels.

Strategy: Initiate fresh short positions if the contract declines below 9,950
