However, the upside trend exhausted as the index dropped from a high of 46087.58, covering the gap with high volumes. This was the third attempt where the Index attempted to break the diagonal resistant line. Hence, analyzing the trend, we feel that it may find a minor support at 44450, and a major support at 43650 – 43450 region in the sessions to come. Traders are advised to stay cautious while taking long positions unless the Index breaks and sustains 45500 level in today’s trading session.
