Bank Nifty index is stuck in a broad range of 1500 points where stiff resistance is visible at 40,000 and support is seen at 38,500. The index will witness a trending move on a break on either side. The immediate support stands at 39,200 and if breached, we will see a further decline towards the 38,800-38,500 zone. The bias remains on the Buy side as long as the mentioned support level is held.
