Market Status: Rally Attempt

Today, benchmark indices continued to lose through the session. Nifty opened on day’s high and ended near day’s low. On the lower side, we are looking at its previous correction low of 10,637, if that is breached we will change the market status to a Downtrend. In such a scenario, it is advised to trim exposure toward the market and avoid fresh long positions.
