Nifty 50 October Futures (17,730)
Sensex and Nifty 50 have failed to sustain higher after opening with a gap-up today. Sensex and Nifty 50 have come-off from their day’s high of 59,960 and 17,784 respectively. Sensex is currently trading at 59,812, up 0.52 per cent and Nifty at 17,737, up 0.53 per cent. Nifty has an important support at 17,720-17,700. A break below it can increase the downside pressure and drag it to 17,600. On the other hand, if Nifty manages to sustain above 17,700, it can remain in a narrow range of 17,700-17,800. A strong break above 17,800 will be needed to boost the momentum and take the index up to 18,000 again. The price action in the coming sessions will need a close watch.
