Nifty Bank index has begun the week slightly on a weaker note. The index touched a high of 51,879.65 but could not sustain. It has come down from there and is currently trading at 51,480, down 0.14 per cent. The advances/declines ratio is at 7:7. This leaves the bias mixed and indicates that the market can go either way from here.

Nifty Bank index outlook

Intraday support is at 51,050. Resistance is at 52,030. The index can oscillate between these two levels for some time. A breakout on either side of 51,050 or 52,030 will then determine the next direction of move for the day.

A decisive break above 52,030 will ease the downside pressure. Such a break can take the index up to 53,100 or even 53,500 in the coming sessions.

In case the Nifty Bank index breaks below 51,050, it can come under selling pressure. That in turn can drag the index down to 50,600 initially. It will also keep the Nifty Bank index vulnerable to see 50,000 on the downside again.

Nifty Bank Futures

The Nifty Bank April Futures (51,830) is trading flat. Support is in the 51,270-51,250 region. Resistance is around 52,150. We will have to wait for a breakout on either side of 51,250 or 52,150 to get clarity on the next leg of move.

The contract will come under pressure for a fall to 50,900 if it breaks below 51,250. That will also keep the downside open to see 50,200 eventually.

A strong break above 52,150 is needed to gain bullish momentum. Such a break can take the Nifty Bank April Futures contract up to 53,100-53,200 in the coming sessions.

Trade Strategy

Traders can go long on a break above 52,150. Keep the stop-loss at 51,760 initially. Trail the stop-loss up to 52,220 as soon as the contract goes up to 52,290. Revise the stop-loss higher to 52,340, 52,480 and 52,720 when the contract touches 52,440, 52,620 and 52,830 respectively. Exit the long positions at 52,980.
