Short term - Technical Outlook
Bank Nifty is expected to stay cautious, having recently broken down below its 20-day EMA amid continued selling pressure. The 57,500–57,600 zone now stands as the immediate resistance. A sustained recovery above 57,600 would help the index regain momentum and move towards the 58,000 mark.
On the downside, 57,200 remains the immediate support, and a decisive break below this level could expose the index to the 57,000–56,800 region. Overall, Bank Nifty carries a relatively weaker setup at this stage. A decisive breakout or breakdown from these key levels will determine the index's next directional move.

Long term - Technical Outlook
Bank Nifty continues to trade with a cautious bias. A sustained move above 58,000 will be crucial to maintain the ongoing recovery. Technically, a sustained move above the 58,300 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 12th 2026
Indian equity markets opened on a largely flat note but struggled to build momentum, with broad-based selling pressure weighing on the benchmark indices. PSU banks and metal stocks were the only sectors providing meaningful support in early trade. Investor sentiment remained cautious as hopes of a near-term breakthrough in U.S.-Iran negotiations faded, while continued uncertainty surrounding the Strait of Hormuz kept risk appetite in check.
On the geopolitical front, tensions escalated after reports that the U.S. targeted a vessel in the Gulf of Oman over an alleged breach of the Iran blockade. Washington also warned that continued attacks on maritime traffic could keep fuel prices elevated, further clouding the outlook for a diplomatic resolution and reinforcing concerns over energy security.
WTI crude oil climbed above the $84-per-barrel mark, extending its recent gains as the geopolitical risk premium remained firmly embedded in energy markets. Meanwhile, the Indian rupee remained relatively stable around the 95.4 level against the U.S. dollar, although elevated crude prices and persistent geopolitical uncertainty are expected to keep depreciation pressures intact.
Gold rebounded to its highest level in nearly 10 weeks, supported by safe-haven demand as investors positioned ahead of the closely watched U.S. consumer inflation report. The data is expected to provide fresh guidance on the Federal Reserve's interest-rate trajectory and could significantly influence U.S. Treasury yields, the dollar, and broader global risk sentiment.
Technical view
Nifty 50
Nifty 50 opened on a flat note near the 24,472 mark, with early price action indicating low momentum and limited directional strength. Technically, a sustained move above the 24,500 level will be essential to strengthen the near-term bias and pave the way for an advance towards the 24,600–24,700 resistance zone.
On the downside, the 24,400 level remains the immediate support and is also aligned with the 200-day EMA, making it a crucial support zone on a closing basis. A decisive break below this level could intensify selling pressure, weaken the near-term structure and drag the index towards the 24,300–24,200 region. The RSI is hovering in the mid-50s, indicating that momentum remains broadly balanced with no strong directional bias. Overall, the near-term outlook remains cautious, with 24,500 acting as the key upside trigger, while sustaining above the 24,400 support will be important to preserve the broader technical structure.
Bank Nifty
Bank Nifty opened on a marginally lower note near the 57,392 mark but subsequently reclaimed its 20-day EMA, indicating some recovery from the early weakness. However, the index continues to face selling pressure at higher levels and is attempting to sustain above the previous session’s lower levels. On the upside, the 58,000 psychological level now acts an immediate resistance. A sustained breakout above this zone would strengthen buying momentum and could pave the way for an advance towards the 58,200–58,300 region, which remains the next significant resistance band.
On the downside, the 57,200 level remains the immediate support. A decisive break below this zone could increase selling pressure and weaken the near-term technical structure. The RSI has edged higher towards 52, indicating a modest improvement in momentum while remaining within the neutral zone. Overall, the near-term technical outlook remains cautious, with a sustained move above 58,000 required to strengthen the upside momentum.
Market support level is 57,200. Market resistance level is 58,000.
