The contract is now facing a resistance at 45,000. Subsequent resistance is at 45,400. Given the momentum of recent fall, the upswing in the contract seen today so far is likely to be a corrective one.

So, we expect the contract to resume the fall at the current level of 45,000 or after extending the upside a little further to 45,200.

Bank Nifty futures could fall to 44,500, a support. A breach of this level can drag the contract to 44,100.

Trading strategy

Short Bank Nifty futures now at 44,980 and short more in case the price rises to 45,200. Place stop-loss at 45,500.

When the contract falls to 44,600, tighten the stop-loss to 44,900. Book profits at 44,300.

Supports: 45,000 and 44,800

Resistances: 45,400 and 45,500
