Short term - Technical Outlook
Bank Nifty continues to face selling pressure at higher levels, with the index struggling to overcome key resistance levels. On the upside, 55,200–55,400 remains the immediate resistance zone, which the index has tested repeatedly without achieving a decisive breakout. A sustained move above this range would be crucial to strengthen recovery momentum and open the way toward 55,800–56,000.
On the downside, 54,600–54,400 represents the immediate support zone. A decisive break below 54,300 could intensify selling pressure and expose the index to further downside toward lower support levels. The near-term outlook remains cautious, with sustained buying and a decisive move above 55,500 needed to establish a stronger recovery and improve the technical structure.

Long term Chart
October 13th 2026
Indian equities began the session on a steady footing on Tuesday, with information technology stocks providing the main support. The IT sector advanced nearly 2%, led by HCLTech, which rose more than 4% following its earnings announcement, while TCS gained nearly 4%, extending its recent rally. The early gains suggest continued investor interest in technology stocks, even as broader market sentiment remains guarded.
Crude oil prices have eased from elevated levels, with WTI trading near $92 a barrel. However, prices remain well above pre-war levels, keeping concerns over energy costs and inflation in focus. The rupee, meanwhile, strengthened by 70 paise to 95.06 against the dollar at the open, supported by recent RBI measures and a modest easing in crude oil prices. However, persistent foreign fund outflows and movements in the dollar remain key factors influencing the currency.
The broader outlook remains cautious amid weak global cues. Russia’s dismissal of President Donald Trump’s proposed “energy ceasefire” has added to geopolitical uncertainty, leaving investors watchful of developments that could disrupt energy supplies and trigger renewed market volatility.
Technical View
Nifty 50
Nifty 50 opened on a flat note near 22,350 and quickly moved above the 22,400 zone, indicating some early buying interest. However, a decisive and sustained move above the 22,600 resistance zone remains essential to strengthen the recovery and open the way toward the 22,800–23,000 region.
On the downside, 22,300 remains the immediate support level, and holding above this zone will be important to maintain near-term stability. The RSI remains largely flat in the mid-30s, indicating that momentum is still subdued despite the recent recovery. The near-term outlook remains cautious, with a sustained breakout above 22,600 needed to confirm further upside momentum.
Bank Nifty
Bank Nifty opened on a largely flat note near 54,908, with early price action indicating some improvement in momentum. On the upside, 55,200–55,400 remains the immediate resistance zone. A sustained move above this range would be crucial to strengthen recovery momentum and open the way toward 55,800–56,000.
On the downside, 54,600–54,400 represents an important support zone. A sustained break below this range could invite renewed selling pressure. The RSI has edged higher into the mid-40s, indicating a gradual improvement in momentum, although the index needs sustained buying and a decisive breakout above resistance to confirm a stronger recovery. The near-term outlook remains cautiously positive, provided key support levels hold.
