said supports stayed intact as the Nifty50 headed for FO expiry on Thursday
For any upside, the initial hurdle in the 10,650-80 range needs to be broken decisively. The index continues to sustain below its 20-day
SMA, which signals weakness in the near term, said Rajesh Palviya of Axis Securities

at 10,550 level, said Chandan Taparia of Motilal Oswal Securities. After showing a reversal type candle pattern on Tuesday, Nifty showed
