OUTLOOK

Today morning, Nikkei is down a percent while Hang Seng and Shanghai are little changed. SGX Nifty is suggesting about 25 points lower start for our market.

In yesterday's report we had said that "10261, the bottom made on Friday, coincides with a trendline adjoining bottoms made in September 2017 and March 2018" and that upon sustained trading below 10261, 9951, the bottom made in March, would be the next meaningful support to eye.   

Nifty, after touching a low of 10198, rebounded in last hour to end at 10348, holding the trendline support mentioned above on closing basis.

10198, the bottom made yesterday, is now the immediate support below which 9951 would be the next major support to eye.

Immediate hurdle on the hourly chart is placed at 10740.
