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 it 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 sector can hold above 31,144.30, Friday’s low, with 32,081.25, the previous close, the first level to reclaim.
Ankit Jaiswal flags that the index recovered about 850 points from its low, which shows buyers defended the area, but the 2,000-point range signals a nervous market.
A fair reading of this nifty it prediction for monday is that Friday’s data sets the context, while Monday’s first hour decides how much of it carries forward.
