The Indian markets extended declines for the third consecutive session on October 1 with Nifty ending well below 11,400 mark (SPOT) reacting to sharp falls in banking and financial stocks.

Indian market remained shut on October 2 on account of Gandhi Jayanti - a public holiday.

From the derivative front, the tug of war was seen among the bulls and bears during the week. But, bears managed to take control over the markets as call writers’ added hefty open interest in 11,500 and 11,600 strikes.

From the technical front, the Nifty is still holding above its long-term moving averages and as far as prices are holding above 11,200 mark, we expect that the volatility is likely to grip the market within the broader range of 11,500-11,200.

However, any decisive move beyond this range will further decide the next momentum into the index.
