The Nifty Bank index is trading lower. The index is trading at 54,180, down 0.49 per cent. The advances/ declines ratio is at 5:9. This is negative. If the trend sustains, there is a good chance to see a further fall during the day.

Nifty Bank Outlook

A crucial support is at 54,000. The Nifty Bank index is managing to hold above it for now. In case the index breaks below this support, a deeper fall to 53,700 is possible.

The Nifty Bank index has to sustain above 54,000 and rise past 54,400 in order to negate the break below 54,000. Only then will the bias turn positive and the doors open to see 54,900 and higher levels.

We will have to wait and watch. The price action around 54,000 during the day will be crucial.

Nifty Bank Futures

The Nifty Bank May Futures (54,225) is down 0.7 per cent. The contract is now trading below a crucial support level of 54,250. The next important support is at 53,980, which can be tested during the day. A bounce from around 53,980 and a subsequent rise above 54,250 will ease the downside pressure. If that happens, a rise to 55,000 is possible.

In case the contract breaks below 53,980, it can increase selling pressure. Such a break can drag the contract down to 53,600,

Trade Strategy

Though there is room to see 53,980 on the downside, considering the risk/ reward ratio, we suggest traders stay out of the market.

Supports: 53,980, 53,600

Resistances: 54,250, 54,500
