The Nifty July month contract commenced the session on flat note, opening at 11,585 levels. After marking an intra-day low at 11,570 the contract resumed the up-move, breaking the key resistance at 11,600 which is a positive sign. The near-term outlook remains bullish as long as the contract trades above 11,600 levels. Traders can buy in declines while maintaining a fixed stop-loss at 11,600 levels.

Continuation of the up-move can test resistance at 11,650. A decisive rally above 11,650 can take the contract higher to 11,675 and then to 11,700 in the near term. Conversely, a strong plunge below 11,600 can bring back selling pressure and drag the contract down to 11,570 and then to 11,550 levels.

Strategy: The outlook stays positive above 11,600. Buy in dips

Supports: 11,600 and 11,570

Resistances: 11,650 and 11.675
