Nothing in this nifty media prediction for monday is a promise of returns, and every level quoted can fail.
Stocks and Triggers to Watch in the Nifty Media Space
Zee Entertainment is a widely traded media name, so its move is a useful read on the sector. The stock is about 9.6 percent below Wednesday’s close of 72.36, and a fall of more than 4 percent against a market that fell 0.39 percent points to stock-specific selling.
In the F&O segment, Univest’s analysts suggest watching open-interest changes near the support and resistance levels above before drawing conclusions. India VIX rose 6.98 percent to 16.86 on Friday, so option swings may stay on the wider side on Monday.
Univest’s analysts suggest treating this nifty media prediction for monday as a preparation note for Monday, 26 October 2026, rather than a signal that changes over the weekend.

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.
This nifty media prediction for monday will be most useful when read alongside the support and resistance table above.
Analyst View for Monday
Kunal Singla suggests that the stock needs to reclaim 68.46, the previous close, before the tone improves, with 64.87 the support to watch.
Ankit Jaiswal flags that two sharp falls in two sessions make Monday’s open critical, since a break below 64.87 would extend the weakness.
A fair reading of this nifty media prediction for monday is that Friday’s data sets the context, while Monday’s first hour decides how much of it carries forward.
Why This Is Written for Monday
This nifty media prediction for monday is written after the close on Friday, 23 October 2026, using Friday’s closing data, for the next regular trading session on Monday, 26 October 2026. Indian equity markets are closed on Saturday, 24 October, and Sunday, 25 October, so Friday’s closing prices remain the last cash-market data until trading resumes on Monday. Treat it as a briefing to prepare for that session, not a live call that updates over the weekend.
