Technically, Short-term
traders can make use of bounces to go short at 9910-9915. Stop-loss can be
placed at 9950 for the target of 9850/9830. The downside pressure will ease
only if the nifty futures manages to break
9925 decisively. But such a strong bounce looks less probable at the moment. Once Nifty breaches levels
of 9830, it would head towards 9800/9770 levels in upcoming sessions. The support for the
Nifty is 9825-9800-9780-9760-9730 and the resistance to the up move is at 9910-9930-9955-9980-10000 levels.
