Equity benchmark indices remained in a bear trap throughout the session after a gap-down opening, falling 0.8 percent on July 11. Bears were also dominant in the market breadth, with about 1,775 shares under pressure compared to 854 advancing shares on the NSE. Consolidation is expected to continue in the upcoming sessions until the frontline indices trade above their short-term moving averages. Below are some short-term trading ideas to consider:
