The Nifty May futures began the session with a gap-down open at 10,675, breaching a key support at 10,700 levels. After marking an intra-day high at 10,687.7, the contract resumed its down move and continued to decline. It has recorded an intra-day low at 10,645 levels.
The contract faces a key resistance at 10,680. A strong rally beyond this level can take it higher to 10,700. An emphatic breakthrough of 10,700 is needed to strengthen the corrective up move and take it higher to 10,725 and 10,750 levels in the near term.
Inability to move beyond 10,680 can pull the contract down to 10,650 and then to 10,630 levels. Next key support is placed at 10,600.
