According to Rajesh Bhosale - Equity Technical and Derivative Analyst, Angel One, the private bank counter is under pressure this week as it's been down more than 2.5%. Next key support is at 1830 - 1800 which is a 200sma and bullish gap.

“As of now we don't see a performing signs form this heavyweight hence one should ideally avoid and wait for some base or reversal signs to re-enter," said Bhosale.
