Bank Nifty November futures (43,880)
The Bank Nifty Index dropped sharply after briefly breaching the 44,000-mark in the special Muhurat trading on Sunday. The index is currently trading at 43,750, down 0.55 per cent. The advances/ declines ratio is at 4:8, which indicates the inherent weakness in the index.
Outlook
Intraday support is at 43,650. A break below the support can drag the index down to 43,500 during the day. On the other hand, if the index manages to bounce back from around 43,650, it can go up again to 44,000.
The region between 44,000 and 44,100 is a strong resistance. The Nifty Bank index has to breach 44,100 to gain bullish momentum.
