The NSE Nifty 50 jumped above the crucial 18300 mark today despite muted global cues. In the early morning trade, the SGX Nifty was trading marginally in the red, indicating that the benchmark indices, NSE Nifty and BSE Sensex could open flat or marginally lower.

Meanwhile, Eicher Motors, IndusInd Bank and Tata Motors were trying to pull the Nifty 50 down.

Bank Nifty likely to cross all-time high and may head towards 44444

“Bank Nifty is outperforming and consolidating between the 43500–44200 zones. It is likely to cross its all-time high and may head towards the 44444 level. On the downside, 43440 is an immediate support level that should be a stop-loss for long positions,” said Pravesh Gour, Senior Technical Analyst, Swastika Investmart Ltd.
