As the dilemma suggested, Nifty bounced back from the lows and took out yesterday's high and closed above it.Nifty also did not make a new low which suggests a temporary up trend as a strong close suggests that Nifty is still in a range.
Also the high probability trade of selling did not work out. But as suggested if one would have nibbled on the short trades there was money to be made on the ranges of the Bollinger Bands. It was eventually taken out in the final half an hour.
