“We believe that Bank Nifty is in the process of retracing the rise it has witnessed from 44,547 - 46,370. On the downside, it can slip towards 45,750 - 45,670 where support is in the form of the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level and the 40-hour moving average is placed. Overall, the trend is still positive and once this consolidation is complete, we can expect the Bank Nifty to resume its uptrend. On the upside 46,500 is the expected target,” said Ajit Mishra, SVP - Technical Research, Religare Broking Ltd.

“The bears currently have the upper hand in the market, and the index is facing strong resistance at the 19,800 level, where aggressive call writing is observed. This resistance zone has become a significant hurdle for the bulls.If the index sustains below the 19,700 level, it may lead to further downside movement towards the support zone of 19,600-19,550, where the next support level is visible.Given the current market conditions and volatility, traders should be cautious and utilise both the resistance and support levels to make trading decisions,” said Kunal Shah, Senior Technical & Derivative analyst, LKP Securities
