Nifty outlook by Angel Broking
The kind of activity that we saw yesterday provides a lot of credence to the 9,800 mark. This was evident as the expiry factor came into picture and it seems the Nifty is reluctant to slip below this support level in the current expiry.
The overall trend remains weak but we believe that the index is likely to consolidate in a range of 9,800-9,950 before resuming its corrective move. For the coming session, 9,890-9,950 would be seen as a resistance zone.

Nifty outlook by HDFC Securities
Next support for the Nifty is seen at around its 100-DMA, which is placed around 9,730. Previous bottom on the daily chart is seen at 9,685, which can also act as a support. Primary trend of the Nifty is bullish, but short term trend has turned negative. It would be advisable for traders not to initiate aggressive longs unless Nifty surpasses the resistance of 10,000.
