“…Going ahead, as far as index is concerned, we do not expect any major movement as we expect the index to remain lethargic and see some profit booking in the zone of 10,600-10,630. On the flipside, 10,500 followed by 10,400 would be seen as a crucial support zone,” said Sameet Chavan, chief analyst-technical and derivatives, Angel Broking.
