The Nifty on Friday ended 0.57 percent lower at 10,618.25. Negative opening followed by retracement towards 10,600 levels led to end the session with a bearish body candle. Day’s low was 10,601.60.

Benchmark Index settled on weaker note on the last session of the week. Hence, in case of pullback it may again face resistance around 10,700 levels. On the weekly chart it ended 0.69 percent lower. A minor correction against 6 weeks of consecutive uptrend ended with a bearish shooting star candle. However, primary trend suggests it may again see aggressive buying on dips.
