Below the Pre-Market Commentary on Nifty & Bank Nifty for 1st October 2026 by Pabitro Mukherjee, Deputy Vice President-Research, Bajaj Broking 

Pre- Market Commentary

Nifty

CMP: 22,620.45

Nifty formed an inverted hammer candle with a small real body and a long upper shadow signalling selling pressure around 22,800 levels.  Nifty opened on a flat note and moved higher in the first half of trade to form an intraday high of 22809. However, selling pressure at higher levels saw the index gave up its gains and closed lower around the 22,600 levels.

Immediate bias in the index continues to remain down and a follow through weakness will signal extension of decline towards the key support area of 22,400 being the confluence of the trendline support joining the major lows of the past two years and the 200-week EMA.   

A move above Thursday’s high of 22,810 will signal a pullback towards the 23,000 levels. However, for a meaningful trend reversal index would require forming a sustained Higher High–Higher Low structure and reclaim the 23,000-23,100 level. A sustained move above 23,100 could signal a pause in the ongoing downtrend

Intraday Levels for Nifty

Resistance: 22,720 and 22,810
Support: : 22,510 and 22,400

Bank Nifty

CMP: 54,633.05

Bank Nifty formed a bullish candle with a higher high and a higher low signaling pullback from extreme oversold territory. Index in the process snapped its two-session decline and closed higher by 0.7%.

Going ahead, a follow through pullback above Thursday’s high 55,135 will signal extension of the pullback towards 55,600 and 56,000 levels in the coming sessions being the recent breakdown area.

Failure to move above Thursday’s high will signal some consolidation in the range of 53,500-55,100 levels in the coming sessions ahead of the RBI monetary policy outcome during next week.

Index has key short-term support at 53,500-53,000 being the confluence of the previous major lows and measuring implication of the recent range breakdown (58,500-56,000).

Intraday Levels for Bank Nifty

Resistance: 54,900 and 55,150
Support: 54,310 and 54,000
