It took support at four-day tight range consolidation high. It filled the gap of August 11. The RSI has declined sharply below the 60 zone. It has also closed below the prior swing lows. The MACD has given a fresh sell signal, while the negative momentum indicator -DMI surged sharply. By closing below the previous week's low, the index also got the confirmation for the weekly shooting star candle. 

 Bank Nifty declined by 3.80% from the Friday high in just two trading sessions. The 20DMA support is just 0.62% away at the level 38060. A close below this level will fuel further selling pressure.
