Ashish Chaturmohta of Sanctum Wealth Management said as long as Nifty trades below 10,640 levels, we expect the market to retest 10,550 levels which is an important support level for the market.

Trade war and political uncertainty in Europe’s biggest economy - Germany - kept equity markets under pressure for most part of Monday's session. Recovery in the last hour of trade in frontline stocks saw the Nifty erasing partial losses to close at 10,657 levels, down 0.53 percent for the day.

After Friday’s bounceback, the index has failed to show follow-through action on the upside. The index faced a hurdle at the rising support trend line, connecting lows of 9,952 and 10,418, which is now acting as resistance for the market. As long as the Nifty trades below 10,640 levels, we expect the market to retest 10,550 levels which is an important support level for the market.

On the upside, if Nifty trades above 10,705 levels, it can rally towards 10,810 levels where the falling resistance connects the highs of 11,172 and 10,929.

In Nifty options, 10,600 put is seeing the highest open interest suggesting the market has support between 10,550-10,600 levels.
