Bank Nifty share price:

Bank Nifty index opened gap up by more than 300 points but failed to hold its opening gains and gradually drifted lower towards 56,750 zones in the latter part of the session. It formed a bearish candle on daily scale as momentum is missing at higher zones but multiple supports are intact at lower levels. Index has again got stuck in a range of 1,000 points but is hovering near its 10 DEMA.
