Bank Nifty Futures
The Bank Nifty August Futures (44,540) is down 0.53 per cent. Resistance is in the 44,650-44,700 region. The contract can fall to 44,400 – an important support level.
A bounce from 44,400 can take the contract up to 44,600-44,700 again. But a break below 44,400 will be very bearish. Such a break can drag the contract down to 44,000 and even lower thereafter.
Trade Strategy
Although a fall to 44,400 looks more evident, the risk-reward ratio is not in favour of taking any trades. So, we suggest traders to stay out of the market today.
Supports: 44,400, 44,000
Resistances: 44,700, 44,900
