Technical View:

Nifty formed a bullish candle on the weekly charts while forming a Spinning Top on the daily charts. A Spinning Top is often regarded as a neutral pattern, which suggests indecisiveness.

The critical support on downsides continues to remain around 11,090 levels. For short term traders, 11,189, which was the intraday low of Friday, will be important.

In the next session, if the index trades above 11,189, it could lead to the test of 11,400; whereas, breach of the said level can increase selling pressure.

Three levels: 11,189, 11362, 11400

Max Call OI: 11500, 12000

Max Put OI: 11000, 11200
