Short term - Technical Outlook
Bank Nifty broader technical structure remains weak, with the index trading below key resistance levels and momentum indicators continuing to signal selling pressure. On the upside, 56,700–56,800 remains the immediate resistance zone, while a sustained move above 57,000 would be required to improve the near-term structure and support a recovery toward higher levels.
On the downside, 56,000 remains the crucial immediate support. A decisive break below this level could accelerate weakness toward 55,800–55,700. RSI near 38 remains below its signal line, while the bearish MACD structure confirms that downside momentum is still present. Overall, the technical outlook remains weak, with the index likely to stay volatile below 56,800 and vulnerable to further selling if 56,000 gives way.

Short term Chart
Long term - Technical Outlook
Bank Nifty continues to display weakness facing resistance at higher levels. A sustained break above 57,000 will be crucial to maintain stability, while the index continues to trade in a weak technical structure, with the index within a descending pattern on the hourly chart. A sustained move above 56,800 could provide some stability and trigger a recovery toward 57,000–57,500. However, failure to reclaim this zone is likely to keep selling pressure intact. On the downside, 55,800–55,700 remains the crucial support zone. A decisive break below 55,500 could accelerate the decline toward 55,200–55,000. Overall, the short- and medium-term technical outlook remains bearish, with the index vulnerable to selling pressure at higher levels.

Long term Chart
September 18th 2026
Indian equity markets opened on a steady footing on Friday, with easing crude oil prices and firmer sentiment across global markets providing early support. The gains, however, remain uneven, with IT stocks coming under pressure and the sector declining more than 1% in early trade, limiting momentum in the broader benchmarks.
Crude oil remains a key source of relief, with WTI trading in the $96–97-per-barrel range, easing some of the pressure on India’s inflation outlook and import costs. The rupee has also strengthened modestly, trading around 95.70 per dollar as the moderation in oil prices and improved risk sentiment provide some support to the currency.
The early market tone remains steady but cautious. While softer crude and firmer regional cues are supporting risk appetite, persistent geopolitical uncertainty remains a source of potential volatility. Developments on the geopolitical front, along with movements in crude oil, the rupee and global markets, are likely to shape trading sentiment through the session.
Technical View
Nifty 50
Nifty 50 opened on a marginally higher note near the 23,335 mark, extending the recovery attempt from recent lows. However, the broader technical structure continues to remain weak, with momentum indicators largely unchanged and continuing to reflect subdued buying strength. A sustained break above 23,400 remains essential for the index to advance further towards the 23,500–23,600 region.
On the downside, the 23,200 level is likely to act as the immediate support, followed by the stronger 23,100–23,070 zone. Overall, the near-term outlook stays cautious, a decisive move above 23,400 would be needed to shift sentiment more constructively, while a break below the 23,100–23,070 support band would risk resuming the broader downtrend.
Bank Nifty
Bank Nifty opened near 56,173, slightly higher than its previous close, reflecting a tentative stabilization attempt after the recent bout of weakness. Holding above the 56,000 mark remains essential to sustain this stability and advance further toward the key resistance zone of 56,700–56,800, a level that would need a decisive breakout to strengthen the recovery structure meaningfully.
On the downside, 56,000 remains the immediate support. A break below this level would reignite selling pressure and expose the index to lower levels near the 55,800–55,700 support zone. The RSI remains largely flat around 40, indicating a lack of strong directional momentum in either direction Overall, the near-term technical outlook remains cautious. Sustaining above 56,000 would be important to preserve stability and support further recovery, while a break below this level could increase downside pressure.
Market support level is 56,000. Market resistance level is 56,700.
