Short term - Technical Outlook
Bank Nifty continues to face resistance in the 55,000–55,200 zone, which needs to be decisively breached to strengthen recovery prospects. A sustained move above this range could pave the way for an advance towards the 55,600–55,800 zone.
On the downside, immediate support is placed at 54,600–54,400. A decisive break below this range could intensify selling pressure and drag the index towards the next support zone at 54,000. Overall, Bank Nifty maintains a cautious outlook, with a sustained move above the immediate resistance zone required to establish stronger upward momentum, while a breach of key support levels could expose the index to further downside.

Bank Nifty continues to to face selling pressure at higher levels, with the index struggling to overcome key resistance levels. Holding above 54,600–54,400 will be crucial to sustain the ongoing recovery, while a break below 54,000 could trigger renewed selling pressure. Technically, 56,000–56,100 remains the crucial resistance zone, and a sustained breakout could extend the recovery towards 56,500. Overall, the near-term outlook remains cautiously positive, although the broader technical structure remains weak.

Long term Chart
October 23rd 2026
Indian equity markets opened marginally higher despite adverse global cues, supported by gains in the IT sector, which advanced over 2% in early trade. However, the broader market and most sectoral indices remains under pressure, reflecting cautious investor sentiment and limited buying participation.
WTI crude oil prices continued their gradual upward trajectory, trading near the $100 per barrel mark. Meanwhile, the Indian rupee remained largely stable near ?94.80 against the US dollar, close to its previous close. However, sustained crude oil demand and dollar-related pressures continue to pose challenges to further rupee appreciation.
Despite the higher opening, market gains remained limited amid rising crude oil prices, weak global cues and persistent geopolitical uncertainty. Overall, the near-term outlook remains cautious.
Technical View
Nifty 50
Nifty 50 opened on a mildly positive note near the 22,742 mark; however, the index continues to trade below the key resistance zone of 22,800. A sustained breakout above this level is essential to improve the near-term technical structure and potentially advance the index towards the psychological 23,000 mark. Failure to overcome this hurdle could limit the upside and keep the index under pressure.
On the downside, the 22,600–22,550 zone remains the immediate support area, while a sustained breakdown below 22,500 could extend the prevailing weakness towards lower levels. The daily RSI remains relatively subdued in the mid-40s, indicating weak momentum and suggesting that selling pressure continues to dominate the near-term outlook.
Bank Nifty
Bank Nifty opened marginally above its previous close near the 54,966 mark, with the 54,600–54,400 zone continuing to serve as the immediate support band. A sustained breakdown below this range could intensify selling pressure and drag the index towards lower levels, further weakening the near-term technical structure.
On the upside, the 55,000–55,200 zone remains the immediate resistance area. A sustained breakout above this range could improve the near-term outlook and pave the way for an advance towards the 55,600–55,800 zone. However, failure to reclaim this resistance band could keep the index under pressure, with selling interest likely to persist.
Market support level is 54,000. Market resistance level is 55,000.
