NEW YORK Nov 16 (Reuters) - Bank analyst Meredith Whitney said on Monday she does not believe the U.S. equities rally is based on fundamentals, and she is as bearish as she has been this year in the stock market.

In an interview with CNBC television, Whitney said there is "no way" the banking sector is well capitalized and it is time to reduce weighting in large-cap banks.

Whitney also said she sees a double-dip U.S. recession.

The main U.S. stock indexes pared some of their gains during the interview.
