Nifty 50 October futures (19,824)

Nifty 50 and Sensex have edged down about 0.14 per cent each after opening higher. Nifty is trading at 19,786, and the Sensex at 66,384.

Support for the Nifty is at 19,750. If it sustains above this support, a rise to 19,850 is possible during the day. The level of 19,850 has been capping the upside. So, a break above 19,850 would be needed for the Nifty to gain momentum, and extend the upside to 20,000.

The possibility of a fall to 19,720-19,700 will come into the picture on a break below 19,750.
