On the outlook for the Bank Nifty today, Om Mehra, Technical Analyst at SAMCO Securities said, “Bank Nifty concluded at 45,367.75, marking a modest decline of 0.16%. Notably, Nifty encountered robust resistance at 45,650-45,700 levels, leading to corrections in the preceding two sessions. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) holding at 38 levels remains in an oversold zone heightening the bearish sentiment depicted in the recent weekly chart. Additionally, the 200-day Moving Average (DMA) at 44,500 acts as critical support with a breach below this level that could intensify selling in the index.”
