Bank Nifty closed above 47,300 following a bullish upsurge in Friday's session. According to a technical analyst at Nuvama, Bank Nifty is now poised to target 49,500 and 50,600 after the technical charts reveal a Morning Star pattern. Bank Nifty has formed a Multiple Inside Candle formation on the monthly charts, indicating compression and often leading to a trend move on a breakout.

As per Manav Chopra, a technical analyst at Nuvama: "Bank Nifty has formed a Morning Star pattern, indicating a bullish undertone. A bullish breakout above the close of 47,100 will establish a bullish trend and indicate targets of 49,500-50,600, coinciding with the resistance of the rising channel."

"Bank Nifty has formed several lower shadows at the support of the rising channel, indicating a demand zone around the 46,000-45,000 levels. A bullish breakout above the close of 47,100 will establish a bullish trend and indicate targets of 49,500-50,600, coinciding with the resistance of the rising channel," added Chopra.

The technical chart above shows emergence of the Morning Star pattern confirming a higher bottom formation and making it a bullish setup. "The index is about to close above the 50-DMA, which indicates short-term momentum and which increased the probability of a breakout above the 47,100-resistance band in today's session," said Chopra.
