Bank Nifty December futures (48,055)

The Bank Nifty index is trading lower. The index made an intra-day low of 47,810 and is attempting to move up. It is currently trading at 47,986, down 0.32 per cent.

Outlook

The immediate outlook for the day is mixed. The index could go either way from here. Support is in the 47,700-47,680 band. Resistance is at 48,350. We will have to wait and see whether the contract moves up and tests the resistance, or falls to test the support from current levels.

The region between 47,700 and 47,680 is a strong support, which can hold well. As such, if a fall to this support is seen during the day, we can expect the contract to bounce back sharply and target 48,000 going forward.
