The Bank Nifty prediction for tomorrow starts with a gap-up open that built through the session. The index opened at 60,801.85, dipped to 60,723.10 and then climbed to close at 61,518.50, which keeps it above its 200-day average by about 8.6%.

Bank Nifty Prediction for Tomorrow: Support, Resistance and Trend

The Bank Nifty prediction for tomorrow is positive but stretched. The index sits well above its 20-day, 50-day and 200-day averages, and the daily RSI is above 90, though the supertrend floor sits far below the price.

Index	Close	Bias	Support	Resistance
Bank Nifty	61,518.50	Positive but stretched	61,500, 61,000 and 60,723	61,546, 62,000 and 62,500

The first support at 61,500 is only 19 points under the close and carries about 3.5 lakh puts. The second support at 61,000 holds about 7.5 lakh puts, and 60,500 holds the heaviest put base at about 11.8 lakh. A close below 60,500 would put the Thursday low area to the test, and the supertrend floor near 58,182 would be the next technical line.

What the Daily Indicators Say About Bank Nifty Tomorrow
