Bank Nifty
Bank Nifty clearly underperformed the broader market as intense selling pressure was seen throughout August. Every bounce attempt by the bulls was sold into, as the index struggled to sustain above 56000 marks and witnessed profit booking of more than 2200 points.

On the monthly scale, Bank Nifty has formed a lower top pattern, indicating that the dominance of sellers may continue going forward.
