How Friday’s Broader Session Unfolded
The Nifty 50 closed at 23,146.15, up 0.65 percent, with a high of 23,149.85 and a low of 22,913.80. The Sensex closed at 74,729.27, up 0.56 percent, and the Bank Nifty closed at 55,844.00, up 0.06 percent. India VIX, the market’s fear gauge, was little changed at 14.06, up 0.21 percent, which usually points to steady expectations for near-term swings. The Friday gain extended Thursday’s 1.66 percent rise, with Nifty IT up 3.92 percent as the standout, so part of the move may reflect a crowded trade. The trigger for the broad gain was not independently confirmed.

Analyst View for Monday
Kunal Singla suggests that the index can hold above 8,041.20, the previous close, with 8,120.70 the resistance to clear.
Ankit Jaiswal flags that relative strength against private banks is a positive, but the recovery is only partial.
A fair reading of this nifty psu bank prediction for monday is that Friday’s data sets the context, while Monday’s first hour decides how much of it carries forward.
