Short term - Technical Outlook 

Bank Nifty continues to show a mixed and slightly lagging structure relative to the broader market. The index remains in consolidation, with the 20-day EMA near 59,128 acting as immediate support. Key downside levels to monitor are 59,000–58,900; a sustained breakdown below 58,800 could open the door for a deeper corrective move toward 58,500. On the upside, 59,500–59,600 remains a strong resistance zone. A convincing move above this band is required to revive momentum and unlock upside toward 59,800–60,000. Until then, price action is likely to stay sideways, driven by stock-specific moves in private banks and prevailing liquidity conditions.

Long term - Technical Outlook

Bank Nifty took support from the lower levels and is now attempting to make new highs. Holding above 59,600 could provide additional support to Bank Nifty. Technically, staying above 59,000 will help maintain a positive sentiment for the Indian market. However, a break below 59,000 could turn unfavorable for Bank Nifty and trigger weakness.

Long term Chart

Indian equity markets have opened with a cautiously bullish bias, supported by positive overnight cues from Wall Street, mixed signals from European markets, and optimism surrounding recent US GDP data. However, holiday-shortened trading sessions are keeping volumes lighter than usual, resulting in selective participation rather than broad-based momentum, while elevated valuations and thin liquidity conditions continue to favour a buy-on-declines approach. 

Nifty 50 opened on a stable note and is gradually inching closer to the 26,300+ lifetime-high zone. A sustained breakout above 26,300 could open the path toward 26,400–26,500, with extended upside possible if momentum strengthens. Structurally, the trend remains positive, with the index continuing to trade above its key moving averages. Immediate support is placed at 26,100–26,050; a decisive breakdown below 26,050 could invite short-term pressure toward 25,900. Notably, aggressive Put writing below 26,000 reflects strong bullish conviction and has been a key factor behind the market’s resilience.

Bank Nifty has opened relatively stronger compared to the broader market, decisively crossing its immediate resistance near 59,400 and attempting to sustain above 59,500. The 59,450–59,700 zone now acts as an immediate resistance band, while a sustained hold above 59,350 could pave the way for a near-term move toward 60,500. The intraday bias remains bullish, supported by consistent buying interest near 59,350. Strong support is placed at 59,150, followed by an additional cushion at 59,000. A breakdown below 59,000 could weaken the structure and trigger a corrective move toward 58,800. Banking stocks particularly well-capitalised private and PSU banks are expected to continue lending stability to overall market sentiment.
