Bank Nifty futures

The September Bank Nifty futures opened today’s session with a gap-down at 44,700 as against Monday’s close of 44,812.65. It is currently hovering around 44,700, down 0.25 per cent.

After a bearish trend in the past few sessions, the latest charts are hinting at a loss of downward momentum.

While this does not necessarily mean a bullish reversal, Bank Nifty futures might start consolidating in a range. Such a potential range can be 44,500-45,000.

So, the next leg of trend will depend on the direction of the break of the above-mentioned range. 

While a breakout of 45,000 will open the door for a rally towards 46,000, a breach of the support at 44,500 can result in the contract seeing a fall to the 44,000-44,150 support band.

Trading strategy

The chart does not indicate a specific trend. So, we recommend staying away from the market today.

Supports: 44,500 and 44,150

Resistances: 44,850 and 45,000
