Aetram Research India: NIFTY PSU BANK Weekly Sector Outlook
Nifty PSU Banks Remain Under Pressure Below 8,165; Recovery Above 8,375 Could Strengthen, While 8,000 Loss May Extend Weakness - 24.10.2026
Current Market Price: 8,070.70
Market Prediction:
- Nifty PSU Bank is hovering near an important demand zone after surrendering its recent recovery. Price remains below the major average cluster, while RSI at 40.33 and CCI at -84.23 reflect subdued momentum. ADX near 21 signals moderate trend strength. Sustaining above 8,165 may stabilise sentiment; 8,000 remains critical.
Upcoming Events:
- Indian Overseas Bank and Bank of Maharashtra quarterly results on October 26 could improve sector sentiment if earnings remain resilient. (Positive Catalyst)
- Bank of Baroda’s October 30 quarterly results could support PSU-bank valuations if margins and asset quality remain healthy. (Positive Catalyst)
- RBI’s October rate increase to 5.50% may keep funding-cost and margin expectations under scrutiny across lenders. (Negative Catalyst)
Major Support and Resistance:
- Support: 8,000, 7,840, 7,700
- Resistance: 8,165, 8,375, 8,500
Volume Analysis:
- Recent recovery attempts drew improving participation, but renewed selling near 8,300–8,375 prevented sustained follow-through. Volume around the current support area suggests an active battle, with stronger accumulation required before buyers regain convincing control.
Final Take Away:
- PSU banks are approaching a decisive support pocket after failing to sustain their recent rebound. Momentum remains soft rather than deeply oversold. Holding 8,000 can preserve recovery prospects, while reclaiming 8,375 would improve broader structure materially.
Next Week Prediction:
- Price may remain sensitive around 8,000–8,165; successful defence could encourage recovery toward 8,375, while sustained weakness below 8,000 may expose 7,840–7,700.
Scenario-Based Outlook
- Bullish Scenario: Above 8,375, price may move toward 8,500–8,650 zone
- Bearish Scenario: Below 8,000, downside risk toward 7,840–7,700 zone
- Neutral Scenario: Between 8,000–8,375, consolidation likely
