For the Nifty Bank, which led the Nifty lower on Thursday, there are two main reasons to pay greater attention here.

One, of course, the price action on Thursday where it just about managed to close above 56,000, and two, three major results – that of HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and Yes Bank lined up on Saturday.

The 56,500 – 56,800 zone remains a supply barrier for the banking index.

For the Nifty, 24,400 on the upside, which is Thursday’s high, will be a key level to watch.

On the downside, even if there is volatility that emerges, the bulls would hope that the index does not end the week with a close below the 24,000 mark.

The Nifty saw some resistance at higher levels on Thursday, with supply emerging at the 24,400 mark.

The index needs to close above the 24,050 mark to post its second-straight weekly advance.
