Range is intact with 11,000 level as key resistance (50 MA resistance), while potential immediate resistance sits around 10,300 - 10,500 - failure to hold within this level could push price to test key support at around 10,000 - 9,800. Otherwise, price may have a chance to test 50 MA if price able to hold above 10 EMA.
