Country’s third largest private sector bank, Axis Bank surged 5 per cent plus from its previous close, after Board trimmed CEO Shikha Sharma's tenure to 7 months from three years of reappointment. Axis Bank is off its upward sloping trendline support level and is heading northwards.

On Wednesday, Bank Nifty attempted to breach its major resistance at 24,500 levels but could not sustain and shed points covering almost two days winning streak. Going forward, we hold 25,000-25,150 as the resistances in case 24,700 is crossed. On the downside, 24,000 followed by 23,600 will act as supports.

Rupee is seen depreciating amid protectionist policies of US President Donald Trump, followed by the trade war cues and FED rate hikes on the global front and deteriorating condition of PSU Banks and deficits on the domestic front. 65.25 and 65.31 to act as resistances and 64.72-64.62 to act as supports for USD/INR.

Nifty is trailing below its 200-days EMA support level of 10,114. It has just touched our next major support at 9,955. Going forward, we hold 9,685 as a major support which would also act as provisional trend reversal. Till then 9,850-9,775 will acts as the immediate support levels.
