On the Bank Nifty outlook, Taparia further added, “Bank Nifty Index opened on a positive note but failed to sustain at higher levels and slowly drifted towards 51500 zones. It formed a small bodied candle on the daily scale which is indicating momentum is missing at higher levels but support base buying is visible. The Index is stuck in a broader range of 800 points. Now it has to continue to hold above 51250 zones for a bounce towards 52000 then 52200 levels while on the downside support is seen at 51250 then 51000 zones.”
