Nifty October futures (8259.45)(+58.65):
Nifty future has given an eight week high closing on the last day which is significant since bears have taken a back seat for now and it has closed above the major resistance zone of 8200-8220. 8243, 8220, 8200 is now the important and immediate supports. 8200, where the 200 day exponential moving average (ema) is posited will now act as the determining factor demarcating the long term and midterm uptrend. The levels of 8170, 8154 and 8137 are good supports but the critical support is the 8120-8095 zone and a decisive breach of this region will see the bears returning to the centres stage again, which, however, seems less likely immediately. On the higher side, Nifty futures now seem poised to test the 8398-8400 region with some strong hurdles around 8280, 8324 and 8350.

Bank Nifty October Futures (17983.35) (+251.75):
Bank nifty future has met the first expected target of 18000 and has closed above the 200 day ema posited in the 17740 confirming the long term uptrend. With such a strong close over the weekend, it may either consolidate the gains in the next session or continue with the upswing and target the 18400 region where the 200 day sma is posited with some resistance around 18010, 18137, 18200, 18300. Though 17860 is the immediate support below the psychological support of 17900, the 17740-17700 region is the current critical support zone and expected to hold on declines. A close below 17700 will, however, put the long term uptrend in jeopardy.
- Resistance: 17998-18010, 18109, 18137, 18200, 18295-18300, 18400, 18510, 18560
- Support: 17900, 17860, 17804, 17740, 17700, 17685, 17600, 17550, 17500-17495, 17440, 17356
