UltraTech Cement traded between 10,802.00 and 11,050.00 on Friday, against a previous close of 10,958.00, and settled at 11,050.00.

How Friday’s Broader Session Unfolded
The Nifty 50 closed at 22,600.00, down 0.39 percent, with a high of 22,787.25 and a low of 22,372.00. The Sensex closed at 73,123.83, down 0.17 percent, and the Bank Nifty closed at 54,287.35, down 1.16 percent. India VIX, the market’s fear gauge, rose 6.98 percent to 16.86, which points to higher expected swings in the near term. The Nifty 50 has fallen about 2.4 percent over the holiday-shortened week from last Friday’s close of 23,146.15. The Nifty Midcap 50 fell 2.10 percent and the Nifty Next 50 fell 2.26 percent, so selling was heavier outside the Nifty 50. Nifty Metal fell 2.71 percent and Nifty PSU Bank fell 2.26 percent, while Nifty IT fell 0.27 percent. The trigger for the broad fall was not independently confirmed.

Analyst View for Monday
Kunal Singla suggests that UltraTech can hold above 10,958, the previous close, with a fresh high above 11,050 needed to extend the move.
Ankit Jaiswal flags that relative strength against a falling market is a positive, but crude oil’s rise is a cost concern.
A fair reading of this nifty cement prediction for monday is that Friday’s data sets the context, while Monday’s first hour decides how much of it carries forward.
