Nifty 50 March Futures (7,512)

Taking cues from the Asian indices which are trading in negative territory, declining around 0.6 per cent, the domestic benchmark indices started the session on a negative note and remain in this territory. The Nifty futures contract open the session at 7,545. Recording an intra-day high at 7,555 the contract fell sharply and marked an intra-day low at 7,493 levels. It currently tests a key support at 7,500 levels. The near term outlook will remain bearish as long as the contract trades below 7,530 levels.

Traders with a short-term perspective can make use of rallies to initiate short position with a stop-loss at 7,535 levels. Also, a decisive fall below 7,500 will indicate increase in selling pressure. Next supports are at 7,470 and 7,450 levels. On the other hand, significant resistance is at 7,550. Only a decisive break through this resistance level will reinforce the bullish momentum and take the contract northwards to 7,580 and 7,600 levels.

Strategy : Make use of rallies to initiate fresh shorts

Supports : 7,500 and 7,475
