Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sensex fell -0.19% to 77,931.10 on Friday as TCS reversed Thursday’s +1.08% bounce, falling -0.80% to Rs 2,356 and removing the primary positive that had kept Sensex alone in the green the previous day. Sensex and Nifty are now both negative for the week. The Sensex prediction for Monday is cautiously positive: Airtel’s +2.73% surge (Rs 1,992, H: Rs 2,005.80) and ICICI Bank’s +0.40% recovery provide Monday composition tailwinds, while crude’s weekend direction will determine Reliance’s contribution to the Sensex prediction for Monday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Sensex prediction for Monday<\/strong> for 17 August 2026 requires understanding Friday’s arithmetic first. Sensex<\/a> fell -0.19% to 77,931.10 because TCS<\/a> reversed its Thursday +1.08% bounce to fall -0.80% Friday (Rs 2,375 \u2192 Rs 2,356). TCS at approximately 4% Sensex weight meant its -0.80% subtracted roughly 85-95 Sensex points from the index. Simultaneously, ICICI Bank<\/a> finally recovered +0.40% (Rs 1,406.80 \u2192 Rs 1,412.40) after two consecutive -1.74% sessions ; adding approximately 45-55 Sensex points. And Airtel<\/a>‘s +2.73% surge to Rs 1,992 added approximately 50-60 Sensex points at 1.8% composition weight. The net arithmetic: TCS subtracted more than ICICI and Airtel added together ; hence the -0.19% Sensex close. for Monday’s session, if TCS stabilises (NASDAQ above 22,000 over the weekend) while ICICI and Airtel continue their Friday momentum, Monday’s Sensex arithmetic flips positive.<\/p>\n

Ankit Jaiswal, Senior Research Analyst at Univest, and Kunal Singla, Associate Director at Univest, frame the Sensex prediction for Monday through the lens of index composition arithmetic ; the four stocks that will determine Monday’s Sensex direction between them represent approximately 21% of Sensex weight: TCS (~4%), ICICI Bank (~7%), Reliance (~8%), and Airtel (~1.8%). The weekend’s primary task for Monday’s session is watching GIFT Nifty at 9 AM Monday and TCS’s first 5-minute candle to understand which direction these four stocks open Monday.<\/p>\n
