According to my analysis, Bank Nifty is in a downward trend, however, the daily chart shows a pause in selling. So, this week might also see a potential bearish reversal, which is also possible.

Keep an eye on 43600; if it is broken, expect a drop towards 43300-43000. Breaking the range of 44000-44100 may indicate a bearish reversal; the range to watch is 44800-45000.

A recent "head and shoulders" pattern around 44400–44500 hints at strong resistance. Market remains indecisive unless 44000 or 43600 is breached.

Geopolitical concerns, crude oil prices, USD/INR exchange rates, the yield on the US 10-year bond, international equities markets, and the India Vix will all have an impact on Bank Nifty this week. However, coupled with other factors, the activity of FIIs will be crucial.
