Inference
Nifty opened positive and after a small dip below the previous day’s close, went up fast towards 5755. The responsive sellers were waiting for this opportunity and moved the index back below the dotted line to close near the lows of the day at 5658.75, a loss of 35.65 points. The broader market was also weak, with just 406 advances to 1111 declines. Needless to say that the Bears are in full control of Option Table.
