From today, weekly expiries in BANK NIFTY will be on Wednesday. So do keep in mind that premiums would move differently.
There is still a gap to be filled for NIFTY between 19,240 and 19,200. My expectation is that a bounce will come from this zone, preventing NIFTY from falling deeper.
But trades will be taken based on other factors as well for the day, including support resistances and open interest data. The opening move is likely to be bearish.
