  "account": "The Nifty 50 and Sensex managed to recover in the past week, closing higher by 0.44 per cent and 0.78 per cent respectively. The Nifty Bank index, after six consecutive weekly falls, ended up 1.48 per cent last week. Despite high volatility, the benchmark indices remain above their crucial support. However, the constant selling from Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) poses a danger to the indices' recovery.\n\nIn the short term, the Nifty index supported at 22,100 is holding, with a potential rise to 22,800-23,000 if it maintains this support. A breach below 23,000 could lead the index back to 22,100. A decisive break above 23,000 could propel the Nifty higher to 23,200, 23,600, or even 24,000 in the short term.\n\nFor the medium term, the broad range of 22,000-26,500 is still intact, with a potential rise to 26,500. The short-term outlook remains positive, with a long-term bullish view expected as the Nifty breaches 26,500 in the coming months, possibly reaching 28,000 and 30,000 in the long term.\n\nThe Nifty Bank index sustained stability above 54,350 throughout the week, with a resistance at 55,600. If it breaks above this level, it could reach 57,000-57,500. Falling below 55,600 might drag the index down to 54,350-54,000 again. The level of 53,800 is a crucial support to watch, with a potential drop to 51,000 if broken.\n\nFor the Nifty Bank, a decline below 51,000 would be a sign to reverse the current bullish outlook, with potential falls to 49,000-48,000. The crucial 71,200-71,000 support zone for the Sensex is holding well, with a potential rise to 73,550 in the short term if it breaks above. A failure to do so could see the index retreat to 71,200-71,000 again. If the Sensex breaks below 71,000, it may face selling pressure, potentially falling to 70,700 and 69,800.",
