10/07/26, PostMarket REPORT

 The Bank Nifty climbed above the key 58,000 mark on Friday, extending its recovery for a second straight session as a broad-based rally across private and public sector lenders gathered pace. Analysts said the index's move above this key resistance level could strengthen the case for a fresh leg higher if sustained.

The banking index rose as much as 1.75 percent to an intraday high of 58,251.95 before trading at 58,100 at 2:05 pm, taking its gains over the past two sessions to more than 2 percent. The advance outpaced the broader market, with the Sensex rising nearly 1 percent, supported by easing crude oil prices, positive global cues and optimism following Tata Consultancy Services' quarterly earnings.

The rally broadened during the afternoon as PSU banks outperformed. The Nifty PSU Bank index jumped more than 3 percent, aided by a sharp rise in Indian Bank after the lender reported better-than-expected June quarter earnings. The Nifty Private Bank index also gained about 1.2 percent.

Within the Bank Nifty pack, Union Bank of India led the gains, rising nearly 5 percent, followed by Canara Bank, Bank of Baroda and Punjab National Bank. AU Small Finance Bank advanced over 2 percent, while Axis Bank, ICICI Bank and State Bank of India gained between 1 percent and 2 percent. HDFC Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank and Yes Bank also traded higher.

Technical analysts said Friday's move marks an important test of the 58,000 resistance zone, which had been identified by several brokerages as the key hurdle after the recent bout of consolidation. Bank Nifty's move above the key 58,000 level has improved the near-term outlook, although confirmation through a sustained close above the mark remains crucial.

ICICIDirect said a decisive close above 58,000 could extend the rally towards 60,000, while Bajaj Broking sees the index advancing to 59,200 if the breakout sustains. Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, also identified 58,000 as the key hurdle, with potential upside towards 58,500-58,700, while placing immediate support at 57,400.

Choice's Sachin Gupta said the index continues to trade above its key moving averages, though momentum indicators remain mixed. Axis Securities also retained a mildly bullish stance after the index reclaimed its 200-day simple moving average, but said stronger momentum confirmation is still needed.
