Bank Nifty prediction today

Indian equities began Monday’s session on a positive note, extending Friday’s recovery, with media, auto, metals and realty stocks leading the advance. However, the early gains encountered some profit-taking at higher levels, suggesting that investors remain reluctant to build aggressive positions amid continuing uncertainty over the Middle East crisis. The initial trend points to improving buying interest, but the market’s ability to sustain the rebound will depend on whether the early momentum attracts further participation.

Crude oil remains a key variable, with WTI trading near $90 a barrel and keeping concerns over energy costs and inflation in focus. The rupee, meanwhile, strengthened by around 1% following RBI measures aimed at redirecting oil-related dollar demand and raising the cost of certain foreign-exchange hedges, with USD/INR trading near 95.70.

Despite the firm start and support from the rupee’s appreciation, the broader outlook remains cautious. Any escalation in tensions between the U.S. and Iran could reignite volatility in oil prices and weigh on domestic equities. For now, investors are likely to track developments in the Middle East, crude oil prices and currency movements closely as the session progresses.

 

Technical View

Nifty 50

Nifty 50 opened marginally higher near 22,593 and moved above the 22,600 zone, indicating an improvement in early price action following the recent recovery. On the upside, a sustained move above 22,600 could extend the recovery toward the 22,800–23,000 zone. On the downside, 22,500 is likely to act as immediate support, followed by 22,400. The RSI has also improved to around 40, indicating strengthening momentum, although a sustained move above key resistance levels will be necessary to confirm further recovery.

 

Bank Nifty

Bank Nifty opened marginally higher near 55,350 but faced early rejection around the 55,400–55,500 resistance zone. A sustained move above this range could help the index extend its recovery toward 55,800–56,000. However, failure to break above this resistance zone could keep the index in a range-bound structure. On the downside, 54,800–55,000 is likely to act as the immediate support zone, followed by 54,500. Overall, the near-term outlook remains cautiously positive, although sustained buying interest and a decisive breakout above 55,500 will be necessary to confirm further recovery toward higher levels.
