Bank Nifty index is stuck below 49,000 since Wednesday this week. That also keeps the index well within the broad 48,000-50,000 range. The advances/declines ratio is at 2:10. This can keep the index lower during the day.
The immediate outlook is unclear. A breakout on either side of 48,000-49,000 will determine the next leg of move. A break above 49,000 will give some relief for the index. It will then take the Bank Nifty index up to 49,600-49,800.
On the other hand, a break below 48,000 will increase the selling pressure. Such a break can drag the index down to 47,000 and lower.
The Bank Nifty January Futures (48,640) down 0.1 per cent. The immediate outlook is unclear. The contract is stuck in between 48,000 and 49,000. A break above 49,000 can take the contract up to 49,500-49,700. On the other hand, a break below 48,000 can take the contract down to 47,800-47,700 initially and then lower eventually.
Since the immediate outlook is unclear, we suggest traders to stay out of the market.
