Short term - Technical Outlook
Bank Nifty is expected to maintain a comparatively stronger technical setup, with the index continuing to demonstrate relative resilience. However, the broader structure remains range-bound, with the index facing resistance at higher levels. From a technical perspective, the 57,800–58,000 zone remains the immediate resistance area. A sustained breakout above 58,000 could strengthen buying momentum and pave the way for an advance towards the 58,300–58,500 region.
On the downside, 57,400–57,300 remains the immediate support zone, followed by the stronger 57,100–57,000 region. Holding above these levels will be important to preserve the prevailing recovery structure, while a decisive break below 57,000 could trigger renewed selling pressure and weaken the near-term technical bias. Overall, the near-term outlook for Bank Nifty remains cautiously constructive, with 58,000 acting as the immediate breakout trigger and 57,000 serving as the key downside support.

Long term - Technical Outlook
Bank Nifty continues to trade with a cautious bias. A sustained move above 57,500 will be crucial to maintain the ongoing recovery. Technically, a sustained move above the 58,000 region could strengthen bullish momentum and extend the rally towards the 58,500 zone. However, a break below 57,200 may trigger profit booking and lead to weakness towards the 57,000 support zone.

Long term Chart
August 24th 2026
Indian equity markets opened slightly higher, with early buying interest concentrated in Information Technology and metal stocks, both of which gained nearly 1% in early trade. The broader market tone, however, remained cautious as the prospect of fresh U.S. sanctions against Iran and persistent geopolitical uncertainty continued to restrain investor risk appetite.
WTI crude has eased gradually and is trading in the $85–86-per-barrel range, offering some relief after its recent run-up. Meanwhile, the Indian rupee remains relatively stable around the ?95.6-per-dollar mark.
Gold continues to draw support from renewed concerns over U.S. fiscal sustainability after federal debt surpassed $40 trillion. The Treasury's move to expand purchases of longer-dated government debt initially pushed yields lower and weakened the dollar, reinforcing demand for gold as a store of value amid growing concerns over the U.S. fiscal outlook.
Technical view
Nifty 50
Nifty 50 opened marginally higher near the 24,285 mark and is currently attempting to sustain above the 24,300 level, which also coincides with the 20-day EMA. A decisive hold above this zone will be crucial for extending the recovery toward higher levels, while a sustained breakout above 24,400 would be required to confirm a more meaningful recovery and strengthen the broader near-term technical structure.
On the downside, 24,200 remains the immediate support level, followed by the stronger 24,000 psychological support. Holding above these levels will be important to maintain the improving technical setup, while a decisive break below 24,000 could revive selling pressure. Momentum indicators have improved, with the RSI reversing higher and hovering around 51, moving back above the neutral 50 mark and indicating a gradual improvement in near-term momentum. Overall, the near-term outlook has improved but remains cautious.
Bank Nifty
Bank Nifty opened near the 57,828 mark and continues to show resilience, maintaining relative strength. The index is now comfortably trading above all key EMAs, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day and 200-day, indicating an improving near-term technical structure. From a technical perspective, the 57,800–58,000 zone remains the immediate resistance band. A sustained move above 58,000 would strengthen the bullish momentum and could pave the way for an advance towards the 58,300–58,500 region.
On the downside, 57,600–57,500 is likely to act as the immediate support zone. Holding above this region will be important to sustain the prevailing recovery structure, while a decisive break below 57,400 could weaken the near-term bias. The daily RSI is showing a bullish crossover and is currently hovering in the mid-50s, indicating improving momentum. If price sustains above the key resistance levels, the improving RSI structure could support further upside momentum. Overall, the near-term outlook remains cautiously constructive.
Market support level is 57,600. Market resistance level is 58,000.
