Nifty Bank: 47450

Technical Outlook

Day that was:

The Nifty Bank index declined amid profit taking in large banks amid muted global cues. Nifty PSU bank and Private banks indices declined 2% and 1.5% respectively leading NiftyBank index to close Mondays session at 47450, down 1.5% or 708 points  

Technical Outlook:

The index started the session on a negative note and gradually extended losses throughout the session led by heavyweight banks. In the process index breached past two week lows (47400) on intra day basis and formed a sizeable bear candle on daily chart. Index is currently poised at critical support of 47400 (two week lows and 20-day ema) In coming sessions, holding the same would keep pull back options open else would signal extended profit taking towards 46900 levels. While overall structure remains positive, on immediate basis, Mondays high around 48200 would remain immediate hurdle for index in this week

• Structurally, index is undergoing retracement of November – December rally wherein it rallied around 15% over 9 week period. Couple of weeks consolidation in the broad range of 46500-48500 would make larger trend healthier and provide fresh entry opportunity. Hence investor should take benefit of ongoing decline to build long positions with focus on PSU banking space which we expect to outperform over medium term
