Bank Nifty, Bankex Support And Resistance
Prabhudas Lilladher: BankNifty has been sluggish overall, as compared to Nifty index, with the 50EMA zone at 50800 levels maintained as an important support and upside would need a decisive breach above 51800 zone to establish strength.

Bankex has consolidated for the last 4 sessions in the range of 57800–58500 and would have the important support zone near 20 DMA and 50 EMA levels, while a clear breakout above the 58700 zone would trigger a fresh upward move for the next higher targets of 59500 and 60000 levels in the coming days. BankNifty would have the weekly range of 50300-52500 levels, with Bankex support at 57000 and resistance at 59500 levels.
