Is Nifty and Bank Nifty Set for a Reversal? A Deep Dive into Market Trends
The stock market is often a whirlwind of surprises, with investors constantly searching for signals that indicate a possible trend shift. Recently, Nifty50, India’s benchmark index, fell to a nine-month low of 22,774.85, triggering uncertainty among traders. With a growing inclination towards short-selling, the big question remains—are we facing a prolonged downturn, or is a market reversal on the horizon?
Let’s take a closer look at the technical indicators, support levels, and market patterns that may determine the next big move for Nifty50 and Bank Nifty.
Nfty at a Critical Support Zone
One of the strongest arguments for a potential rebound is that N-50 is currently trading at a crucial support level, which has historically acted as a turning point over the past five years (excluding the COVID-19 crash).
On the weekly chart, it is hovering around the 62-week exponential moving average (62WEMA) channel. This channel—constructed using both the 62WEMA (High) and 62WEMA (Low)—has consistently provided strong support and resistance levels. The only exception was the steep crash of 2020, caused by external market shocks.
The 62WEMA channel serves multiple functions:
- Smooths price action, making it easier to spot trends
- Identifies key support and resistance zones
- Helps confirm long-term trend directions
This makes it a crucial indicator for traders assessing market reversals.
King Oscillator Suggests an Oversold Market
Another compelling factor supporting a possible reversal is the King Oscillator, developed by Definedge. This oscillator, which combines insights from 14 different indicators, acts similarly to the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
The King Oscillator currently signals that it is in an oversold zone. When this indicator crosses above 30, it often suggests that the market is gaining strength and may be primed for an upward move.
Since the its index is sitting at a strong technical support, a bounce from here could mark the beginning of a trend reversal.
BankNifty Echoes the Reversal Signals
Not just N-50, but BankNifty—one of the most actively traded indices in the futures and options (F&O) market—is also positioned for a potential turnaround.
Why BankNifty Might Reverse Soon
- Like Nifty, Bank Nifty is currently resting on its 62WEMA channel, which has acted as a support level in the past.
- The King Oscillator for Bank Nifty is also coming out of oversold conditions, further strengthening the reversal case.
- A Bullish Belt Hold candlestick pattern has appeared at the 47,844 level, a strong bullish reversal signal when formed near a key support zone.
This convergence of technical signals suggests that Bank Nifty may be on the verge of a rally, provided the market maintains these support levels.
Key Levels to Watch
While the technical indicators point to a possible reversal, it is essential to remain cautious.
Bullish Outlook Valid if:
✅ N-50 stays above 22,400
✅ BankNifty holds above 47,200
Bearish Risk if:
❌ N-50 closes below 22,400 → Possible extended downside
❌ BankNifty breaks below 47,200 → Reversal signals could fail
