A single stock&#8217;s -3.93% move at 4% weight removes approximately 100-120 Sensex points versus its Nifty impact of 50-60 points, explaining the index-level divergence. The Sensex prediction for tomorrow also carries the positive: <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/indices\/nifty-bank\/nifty-bank-share-price-today\">Bank Nifty<\/a> surging 0.77% in a closing-high session means HDFC Bank (8% Sensex weight) and <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/icicibank\/icici-bank-ltd-share-price-today\">ICICI Bank<\/a> (7% Sensex weight) provide approximately 100-130 Sensex points of arithmetic upside if both advance 1-1.5% Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Ankit Jaiswal, Senior Research Analyst at Univest, and Kunal Singla, Associate Director at Univest, frame Thursday&#8217;s Sensex forecast around Sensex-specific composition arithmetic. The 77,498.33 intraday low and recovery to 77,966.35 (a 468-point move) is the most significant intraday recovery the index has shown this week. For the Sensex prediction for tomorrow, this recovery is the technical signal that sellers near 77,500 are being absorbed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 24px;\"><a

78,500-78,650<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sensex&#8217;s 468-point intraday recovery from 77,498.33 to 77,966.35 is the week&#8217;s largest single-session point recovery for the index. Ankit Jaiswal notes that this intraday recovery covers 71% of Wednesday&#8217;s total session range (468 points of the 765-point intraday range of 77,498-78,263), indicating buyers overwhelmed sellers decisively in the second half of Wednesday&#8217;s session. For Thursday&#8217;s Sensex forecast, this recovery strength typically translates into positive opening momentum.<\/p>\n<p>The Sensex prediction for tomorrow has a straightforward composition arithmetic: if TCS recovers 1.5-2% Thursday (from Rs 2,349.70 to Rs 2,380-2,396) and SBI adds another 0.5% (from Rs 1,082 to Rs 1,087), these two stocks alone contribute approximately 80-100 Sensex points toward the 78,200-78,400 resistance zone. Kunal Singla identifies this two-stock arithmetic as the Sensex prediction for tomorrow primary driver for Thursday&#8217;s forecast.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bank_Nifty_Reference_for_the_Sensex_Prediction_for_Tomorrow\"><\/span><strong>Bank Nifty Reference for the Sensex Prediction for Tomorrow<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Trend: Bullish | Closing-High 57,885.85 | HDFC and ICICI Bank Weight Impact on Sensex<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bank Nifty&#8217;s closing-high at 57,885.85 (+0.77%) is directly positive for the Sensex prediction for tomorrow through HDFC Bank (8%) and ICICI Bank (7%) composition weight. For Thursday&#8217;s Sensex forecast, HDFC Bank sustaining above Rs 729 (Wednesday&#8217;s flat close) and ICICI Bank breaking above Rs 1,435 (Wednesday&#8217;s exact intraday high) would together contribute 120-150 Sensex points of positive arithmetic.

Airtel&#8217;s post-Q1 booking appears absorbed ; Thursday&#8217;s continuation above Rs 1,945 adds to Sensex positive breadth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stock_Picks_for_the_Sensex_Prediction_for_Tomorrow\"><\/span><strong>Stock Picks for the Sensex Prediction for Tomorrow<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Stock<\/th>\n<th>CMP (Wed)<\/th>\n<th>Sensex Weight<\/th>\n<th>Entry<\/th>\n<th>Target<\/th>\n<th>SL<\/th>\n<th>Analyst<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/tcs\/tata-consultancy-services-ltd-share-price-today\">TCS<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Rs 2,349.70 (-3.93%)<\/td>\n<td>~4%<\/td>\n<td>Rs 2,320-2,355<\/td>\n<td>Rs 2,420<\/td>\n<td>Rs 2,278<\/td>\n<td>Ankit Jaiswal<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/icicibank\/icici-bank-ltd-share-price-today\">ICICI Bank<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Rs 1,431.70 (+0.15%)<\/td>\n<td>~7%<\/td>\n<td>Rs 1,428-1,436<\/td>\n<td>Rs 1,458<\/td>\n<td>Rs 1,412<\/td>\n<td>Kunal Singla<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/hdfcbank\/hdfc-bank-ltd-share-price-today\">HDFC Bank<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Rs 729.00 (flat)<\/td>\n<td>~8%<\/td>\n<td>Rs 724-730<\/td>\n<td>Rs 748<\/td>\n<td>Rs 712<\/td>\n<td>Ankit Jaiswal<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/sbin\/state-bank-of-india-share-price-today\">SBI<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Rs 1,082.00 (+1.50%)<\/td>\n<td>~3%<\/td>\n<td>Rs 1,076-1,084<\/td>\n<td>Rs 1,105<\/td>\n<td>Rs 1,062<\/td>\n<td>Kunal Singla<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/bhartiartl\/bharti-airtel-ltd-share-price-today\">Bharti Airtel<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Rs 1,945.00 (+1.56%)<\/td>\n<td>~3%<\/td>\n<td>Rs 1,936-1,948<\/td>\n<td>Rs 1,978<\/td>\n<td>Rs 1,905<\/td>\n<td>Ankit Jaiswal<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/reliance\/reliance-industries-ltd-share-price-today\">Reliance Industries<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Rs 1,329.00 (+0.39%)<\/td>\n<td>~8%<\/td>\n<td>Rs 1,322-1,330<\/td>\n<td>Rs 1,358<\/td>\n<td>Rs 1,300<\/td>\n<td>Kunal Singla<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 24px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/screeners\"><strong>Live Screen All 6 Sensex Stocks on Univest Screener<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sensex_Prediction_Strategy_for_Thursday\"><\/span><strong>Sensex Prediction Strategy for Thursday<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Use Sensex composition arithmetic for Thursday:<\/strong> Ankit Jaiswal recommends tracking HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and TCS at 9:16 AM Thursday as the three stocks that will determine 60-65% of Thursday&#8217;s Sensex move.

Wednesday&#8217;s 468-point intraday recovery ; the largest of the week ; confirms institutional buyers remain active and the Sensex is not in a panic-selling mode. Ankit Jaiswal notes that the opening-high pattern (High=Open=78,263.33 on Wednesday) is three consecutive sessions old, which historically resolves within the next 1-2 sessions as either a gap-up exhaustion reversal or a gap-down acceleration.<\/p>\n<p>Kunal Singla observes that the Sensex prediction for tomorrow has an asymmetric composition benefit for Thursday: TCS recovering even 1.5% adds 40-45 Sensex points, while SBI gaining another 0.5% adds 15-18 Sensex points, and ICICI Bank breaking above Rs 1,435 adds 70-85 Sensex points. Together, these three stocks alone can contribute 125-148 Sensex points ; enough to push the index from 77,966 to 78,091-78,114, approaching the 78,200-78,400 resistance zone without requiring broad market participation.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Risks_to_the_Sensex_Prediction_for_Tomorrow\"><\/span><strong>Risks to the Sensex Prediction for Tomorrow<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>TCS extending Wednesday&#8217;s -3.93% fall below Rs 2,280 Thursday, adding another 80-100 Sensex points of negative weight in the Sensex prediction for tomorrow composition arithmetic.<\/li>\n<li>Sensex breaking below 77,498 (Wednesday&#8217;s intraday low) at Thursday&#8217;s open, confirming the recovery has failed and the Sensex prediction for tomorrow bear case targets 77,200-77,350.<\/li>\n<li>HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank both opening lower Thursday, reversing the banking positive that offsets TCS&#8217;s Wednesday crash in the Sensex prediction for tomorrow.<\/li>\n<li>Crude oil above Rs 8,200 creating fresh sector headwinds for <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/indices\/nifty-fmcg\/nifty-fmcg-share-price-today\">Nifty FMCG<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/indices\/nifty-auto\/nifty-auto-share-price-today\">Nifty Auto<\/a> weight stocks in the Sensex prediction for tomorrow.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Sensex prediction for tomorrow for Thursday 13 August 2026 is cautiously bullish at 77,966.35. The 468-point intraday recovery from 77,498.33 and Bank Nifty&#8217;s closing-high pattern (+0.77% to 57,885.85) are the two structural positives for Thursday&#8217;s Sensex forecast. Ankit Jaiswal of Univest identifies 77,800-77,950 as the buy-on-dip zone and 78,200-78,400 as the primary resistance target for the Sensex prediction for tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Kunal Singla of Univest frames Thursday&#8217;s Sensex forecast around three key stocks: TCS recovery (adds 80-100 Sensex points on a 2% bounce), ICICI Bank above Rs 1,435 (adds 70-85 Sensex points) and HDFC Bank sustaining (adds 55-65 Sensex points). These three Sensex-weighted stocks together determine whether the Sensex prediction for tomorrow closes above or below 78,200. Check TCS at 9:16 AM as the single most critical early signal for Thursday&#8217;s Sensex session.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background: #CC0000; border-radius: 8px; padding: 16px 20px; margin: 24px 0;\">\n<p style=\"color: #ffffff; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0;\"><strong style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Disclaimer:<\/strong> Data and figures in this article are sourced from publicly available information.

Sensex closed at 77,966.35 (-0.24%) on Wednesday after testing a session low of 77,498.33 and recovering 468 points. Bank Nifty&#8217;s +0.77% closing-high provides HDFC Bank (8% weight) and ICICI Bank (7% weight) tailwind for Thursday. Support for tomorrow is 77,800-77,950 and resistance is 78,200-78,400.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_analysts_prepared_the_Sensex_prediction_for_tomorrow\"><\/span><strong>Which analysts prepared the Sensex prediction for tomorrow?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Ankit Jaiswal, Senior Research Analyst at Univest, and Kunal Singla, Associate Director at Univest, prepared the Sensex prediction for tomorrow using Groww-confirmed Wednesday data: Sensex 77,966.35 (-0.24%), intraday low 77,498.33, recovery 468 points to close.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_did_Sensex_underperform_Nifty_on_Wednesday_in_the_Sensex_prediction_for_tomorrow_context\"><\/span><strong>Why did Sensex underperform Nifty on Wednesday in the Sensex prediction for tomorrow context?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Sensex fell 0.24% versus Nifty&#8217;s 0.15% on Wednesday because TCS carries approximately 4% Sensex weight. TCS&#8217;s -3.93% removed approximately 100-120 Sensex points more than its Nifty composition impact.
