Nifty Healthcare Fri: Approx. 39,800-40,200 (Near flat (Sun Pharma -0.31%, Cipla -0.89%, Apollo -0.33%)). Range: 39,750-40,250. Nifty IT +1.42%. SBI Q1 NIM 3%. Bajaj Fin -5.84%. VIX 12.16.
The Nifty Healthcare prediction for Monday on Monday 10 August 2026 is shaped by Friday’s session where Nifty 50 closed at 24,570.65 (down 65 points, -0.27%), Sensex fell 455 points to 78,499.17 and Bank Nifty lost 317 points to 57,746.45. The session’s defining paradox: SBI Q1 FY27 beat strongly (PAT +10.23%, NIM recovered to exactly 3 percent, GNPA at a two-decade low of 1.47 percent) but Bajaj Finance crashed 5.84 percent and ICICI Bank fell 2.5 percent, dragging the financial sector. The top performers were Nifty Auto (+1.83 percent), Nifty IT (+1.42 percent led by TCS +3.36 percent) and MCX Gold (+1.40 percent) and MCX Silver (+3.19 percent). The Nifty Healthcare is the sectoral index for this prediction for Monday. The primary catalyst for the Nifty Healthcare prediction for Monday is the US Non-Farm Payrolls for July 2026, released at 6 PM IST today after Indian market close, which will determine Monday’s opening gap direction. Ankit Jaiswal, Senior Research Analyst at Univest, and Kunal Singla, Associate Director at Univest, present the complete Nifty Healthcare prediction for Monday.

SBI Q1 FY27 and Bajaj Finance: Two Opposite Forces Behind the Nifty Healthcare prediction for Monday
Friday’s session presented two contradictory catalysts for the Nifty Healthcare prediction for Monday. SBI delivered its strongest quarterly result in recent memory: PAT up 10.23 percent to Rs 21,121 crore, NIM recovered to exactly 3 percent from Q4 FY26’s 2.93 percent and GNPA fell to 1.47 percent, a two-decade low. SBI surged to Rs 1,124.5 intraday before closing at Rs 1,097.20 (+1.12 percent). Simultaneously, Bajaj Finance crashed 5.84 percent to Rs 1,078, the biggest Nifty 50 loser, dragging the financial services sector. Ankit Jaiswal notes that the Nifty Healthcare prediction for Monday is shaped by which of these two forces dominates on Monday: SBI’s confirmed earnings strength or Bajaj Finance’s Q1 result-related concerns spilling into the broader NBFC sector.
Technical Levels for the Nifty Healthcare prediction for Monday
| Level Type | Zone |
|---|---|
| Immediate Support | 39,600-39,700 |
| Key Support | 39,150-39,300 |
| Immediate Resistance | 40,350-40,500 |
| Key Resistance | 40,700-40,900 |
Kunal Singla observes that India VIX closed Friday at 12.16, unchanged from Thursday’s close. Stable VIX at 12-13 despite the broader market fall is structurally positive for the Nifty Healthcare prediction for Monday: it means option sellers are not panicking and the August monthly series maintains a defined range. The Nifty Healthcare prediction for Monday’s support at 39,600-39,700 is the immediate floor heading into Monday.
US NFP: The Nifty Healthcare prediction for Monday Primary Weekend Variable
US Non-Farm Payrolls for July 2026 releases at 6 PM IST today. A healthy NFP (175,000-230,000 range) supports a Monday gap-up in this outlook as Dow Jones rises and FII risk-on flows return to India on Monday morning. A weak NFP below 130,000 raises US recession concerns and creates a Monday gap-down in this outlook. Ankit Jaiswal recommends checking GIFT Nifty at 9 AM Monday before making any Nifty Healthcare prediction for Monday position decisions.
Key Factors for the Nifty Healthcare prediction for Monday
- Sun Pharma at Rs 1,945 (-0.31 percent Friday) and Cipla at Rs 1,463.80 (-0.89 percent) are both in profit-booking mode after strong Q1 FY27 results season. For the Nifty Healthcare prediction for Monday, these are likely correction-to-accumulate levels rather than structural reversals.
- Apollo Hospitals at Rs 8,945 (-0.33 percent Friday) provides domestic healthcare demand context. India’s private hospital capacity expansion and rising insurance penetration are structural supports for the Nifty Healthcare prediction for Monday.
- The broader defensive rotation that lifted Nifty FMCG (+0.13 percent) on Friday while the market was weak should also support Nifty Healthcare prediction for Monday if Monday sees continued caution from Bajaj Finance concerns.
- US NFP at 6 PM IST today has limited direct impact on the Nifty Healthcare prediction for Monday, as domestic pharma exports depend more on US FDA clearances and generic drug pricing than macro data.

Kunal Singla of Univest notes that the Nifty Healthcare prediction for Monday has a dual structure for Monday: the recovery case (IT and Auto momentum continues, SBI Q1 beat sustains, NFP healthy) and the continuation decline case (Bajaj Finance concerns spread to NBFCs, private banks extend selling, weak NFP). The Nifty Healthcare prediction for Monday’s support zone at 39,600-39,700 is the line between these two scenarios on Monday.
