The Bank Nifty snapped its three-day losing streak on Tuesday, rising more than 2% amid value buying in banking shares. The index had declined over 7% in the previous three sessions. Federal Bank was the top gainer, rising over 3%, while HDFC Bank also snapped its four-session losing run to settle 3% higher at Rs 766.50 per share on the NSE.

Technical Analysis

Analysts at SBI Securities noted that the Bank Nifty formed a small-bodied candle with shadows on both sides, indicating indecision following the recent pullback. The 53,000-53,100 zone is expected to act as immediate resistance for the index. A sustained move above 53,100 could extend the pullback rally towards 53,600 in the near term.

The banking benchmark opened on a positive note and ended the day at 52,605.65. The index is expected to consolidate in the 51,400-54,700 range in the coming sessions. A breach below 51,400 could trigger further downside towards 50,700 and 50,000 levels. On the upside, a move above Tuesday's high of 52,950 may lead to a further pullback towards 53,800 and 54,700 levels.

Macro-Economic Factors

Volatility is likely to remain elevated in the near term due to rising geopolitical tensions and higher crude oil prices, which continue to weigh on overall market sentiment. The benchmark stock indices Sensex and Nifty rebounded by nearly 2%, tracking a rally in Asian peers after US President Donald Trump announced a temporary halt on strikes targeting Iranian energy infrastructure.
