The consolidation near 19,800 level during the truncated November expiry week, Call strikes form 19,800 and higher have seen significant writing across the board. Short covering is more likely in Nifty towards 20,000 and higher if it is able to sustain above 19,800 level. It’s better to stay on the sidelines if Nifty falls below 19,650 level.
