    Bank Nifty managed to hold key support at 22,222 level and recovered by around 400 points from lower point. However, it has been underperforming Nifty, but multiple support near the 22,000 level has been pushing it higher. The index has been hovering near its 50-DEMA and needs to hold above the same to get a bounce or stability. Now it has to continue to hold above 22,500 level to witness some stability and move towards 22,750 and then 23,200 levels. However, a hold below 22,000 level could drag the rate-sensitive index towards 21,750 and then 21,500 levels.
