Trend Overview

The Nifty Bank lost ground in line with the overall market as the Nifty 50 also fell significantly on the day, down over 250 points. This falls into the context of weakening markets, but even after the pressure throughout the day, the Nifty Bank is still just 1.69% below its 52-week high. This indicates bullish/medium-term strength in the banking sector overall.
