The prevailing bearish sentiment, a spike in oil prices to $108 a barrel in international markets, and rising US bond yields are likely to weigh on the market in the short term. Hence, if bears manage to drag the Nifty 50 below Thursday's low of 23,380, a fall towards the 23,300 support level cannot be ruled out amid subdued momentum. A break below 23,300 could drag the index towards 23,000, which would be the next level to watch. On the upside, the 23,500-23,600 range remains a key resistance zone. Meanwhile, if the Bank Nifty fails to hold the previous day's low of 56,232, the 56,000 level could be breached, followed by a potential decline towards the 55,500-55,400 zone. On the upside, the 56,500-56,800 range could act as a resistance zone, experts said.
On September 10, the Nifty 50 rose 46 points, or 0.20 percent, to 23,478, while the Bank Nifty gained 176 points, or 0.31 percent, to 56,472. However, bears maintained control over market breadth, with about 2,002 shares declining compared with 1,238 shares that gained on the NSE.

Nifty rebounds remains corrective, with 23,500 now acting as immediate resistance after turning from support into a hurdle. The index continues below its declining 10-DEMA near 23,775, keeping the short-term trend bearish. RSI at 28.94 remains deeply oversold and below its average of 39.97, allowing scope for short covering but not yet confirming reversal.
Derivatives remain cautious, with Put Call ratio (PCR) at 0.64 and heavy Call positioning around 23,500–24,000, capping upside. Put support near 23,400–23,450 is crucial.
