Equity Market Technical Analysis Snapshot: Aug 18^th, 2026

NIFTY50:

Nifty opened gap-down around 24,223.85 and initially recovered to a high of 24,269.65 before witnessing sharp selling pressure and breaking the crucial 24,250 support, eventually settling lower around 24,154.90. The trend remains sideways to bearish, although short covering cannot be ruled out from lower levels. Immediate resistance is placed at 24,250 and 24,400, while support is seen at 24,100 and 24,000. Nifty is trading below its 200-DMA, 30-DMA, and 11-DMA, indicating a weak technical structure, while RSI at 44.67 reflects subdued momentum. A sustained move below 24,100 could trigger further downside, whereas reclaiming 24,250 may support a short-covering bounce.

BANKNIFTY:

Bank Nifty opened around 57,325.55 and initially witnessed an upside move, making a high of 57,584.70, but strong selling emerged from higher levels, pushing the index to a low of 57,217.60 before it moved sideways and settled around 57,262.40. The trend remains sideways, with immediate resistance at 57,500 and 57,800, while support is placed at 57,100 and 56,800. The index is trading below its 200-DMA, 30-DMA, and 11-DMA, indicating weakness in the technical structure. RSI at 47.36 remains below the neutral 50 mark, suggesting cautious sentiment and the possibility of further weakness if 57,100 is decisively breached.

NIFTY MID SELECT:

Nifty Mid Select opened around 14,914.15 and witnessed sharp selling after the opening, breaking the crucial 14,900 support and then consolidating near lower levels before settling around 14,840.75. The trend remains sideways to bullish, but the breach of 14,900 has weakened the near-term setup. Immediate resistance is placed at 14,900 and 15,000, while support is seen at 14,800 and 14,680. The index remains above the 11-DMA but below the 200-DMA and 30-DMA, indicating a mixed technical structure. RSI at 58.35 continues to show relatively healthy momentum, but reclaiming 14,900 will be important for a bullish

NIFTY REALTY:

Nifty Realty opened around 910 and initially made a high of 911.55 before witnessing sharp selling pressure, declining to a low of 893.65 near the 890 support zone. The index recovered from the lower levels but again faced selling near 911 and settled around 895.70. The trend remains sideways, with immediate resistance at 904 and 912, while support is placed at 890 and 882. The index is trading below the 30-DMA but above the 11-DMA and 200-DMA, indicating a mixed technical structure. RSI at 51.36 remains near the neutral zone, suggesting that a decisive breakout above 912 or breakdown below 890 could provide the next directional signal.
