Nifty 50 November futures (19,826)
The Sensex and Nifty 50 have recovered well after opening lower. The Sensex is trading marginally higher at 65,985. Nifty is at 19,792, up 0.14 per cent.
The sharp fall in the final trading hours of Thursday is significant. That raises a doubt on the presence of strong sellers near 19,900 on the Nifty. So, the price action today will be very important. If the Nifty fails to rise past 19,900 and closes below 19,800, that could be a sign of weakness. It is a wait-and-watch situation now.
