Nifty & Bank Nifty Pivot Points — Wednesday, 27 May 2026
Nifty closed 9 points below its pivot yesterday — basically sitting right on it. Range was a tight 125 points, which usually means today's open decides which side gets tested first.
Bank Nifty was the opposite story. 483-point range, closed well into the lower half, near S1. Sellers had the upper hand into the close, worth keeping in mind.
Nifty 50 — levels for today
| R3 | R2 | R1 | PP | S1 | S2 | S3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 24,099 | 24,041 | 23,974 | 23,916 | 23,849 | 23,791 | 23,724 |
Price is glued to the pivot. A clean push above 23,974 and bulls have something to work with toward 24,041. Below 23,849 and the lower band opens up. The zone between 23,916 and 23,974 is where most of the chop will likely happen — not the cleanest area to take fresh trades.
Bank Nifty — levels for today
| R3 | R2 | R1 | PP | S1 | S2 | S3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 55,621 | 55,421 | 55,137 | 54,938 | 54,654 | 54,455 | 54,171 |
BN closed about 200 points above S1 after a soft session. 54,938 is the level to watch — reclaim that and the bias flips back to neutral, fail there and 54,654 comes into play again. Given yesterday's range, I'd personally keep size small on breakout trades until BN picks a side. Wide-range days often get followed by either a trend day or a complete dud, no in-between.
Gap risk is always there on a Thursday with SGX cues moving overnight, so let the first 15 minutes settle before committing. Weekly expiry pressure on BN options also tends to amplify intraday swings around these pivot zones.
