The Bank Nifty index is trading lower. The index inched up initially in opening trades, but failed to get a strong follow-through rise. It touched a high of 45,748 and has come down from there. The Bank Nifty index is currently trading at 45,385, down 0.55 per cent. The advances/ declines ratio is 2:10. This is negative. It indicates inherent weakness in the index.
Outlook

The outlook is bearish. The Bank Nifty index can fall to 45,000-44,900 during the day. A break below 44,900 can drag it down to 44,600 and even lower going forward.

The Bank Nifty February futures (45,470) is down 0.93 per cent. Resistances are at 45,750 and 46,000. The contract can fall to 45,000 and even lower in the coming sessions.
A strong rise above 46,000 is needed to negate the above-mentioned fall and turn the outlook positive. But that looks unlikely at the moment.
