The Nifty 50 experienced a decline of 115 points, reaching a value of 19,428. The BSE Sensex was down by 365 points at 65,323. The Nifty, a benchmark index, has recently shown a shift from being dominated by bullish sentiment to being under the influence of bearish forces.
This change occurred following a period of consolidation. The Nifty’s performance appears to be exhibiting signs of fatigue. Furthermore, the movement of the Nifty has been influenced by a series of announcements and the anticipation of upcoming results.
Support and Resistance
The Nifty is currently finding support around 19400, and there’s a strong barrier around 19600 that’s hard to break. This is also confirmed by looking at the option writing data on the NSE.

As indicated by certain researchers, this could be a suitable time to exercise caution, secure some profits, refrain from engaging in risky trades, and instead focus on properly hedging investments.
Bank Nifty
The bearish trend persisted in the Bank Nifty as it recorded a decline of 343 points, reaching 44,199.The major support for bank nifty is around 43800 and major resistance level is 44500.
