How Friday’s Broader Session Unfolded

Nifty Next 50 fell 0.83 percent and the Nifty 500 fell 0.55 percent, while Nifty Midcap 50 was almost flat, down 0.04 percent, so mid-caps held up better than the large-cap benchmark. Nifty Auto fell 1.07 percent and Nifty Metal fell 0.98 percent, while Nifty FMCG was almost flat, down 0.01 percent, and Nifty PSU Bank fell 0.51 percent. India VIX, the market’s fear gauge, fell 5.05 percent to 15.78 from 16.62, after trading between 15.30 and 16.88 during the day. In the options market, the Nifty put-call ratio was approximately 0.83, with call open interest highest at the 25,500 strike and put open interest highest at 25,000, for the 17 November expiry. The trigger for Friday’s moves was not independently confirmed.

Analyst View for Monday
Kunal Singla suggests that Nifty Pharma needs a recovery toward 28,675.75, the previous close, to improve the tone, with 28,452.40 the first support.
Ankit Jaiswal flags that the index rose to 28,902.45 early and gave it all back, so that high is the level to clear, while 28,452.40 is the low to hold
Both analysts stress that the nifty pharma prediction for Monday is a view built on levels and data, not a forecast of returns.
A fair reading of this nifty pharma prediction for Monday is that Friday’s data sets the context, while Monday’s first hour decides how much of it carries forward.
