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

The Sensex prediction for tomorrow, 21 August 2026, is sideways to mildly bullish. BSE Sensex surged +628.04 points (+0.82%) to 77,537.72 on 20 August, its best single-session gain in over a week and a clear end to the four-day corrective phase. Ankit Jaiswal notes that the Sensex prediction for tomorrow is backed by two powerful signals: India VIX crashing -4.42% to 10.82 and the Nifty Private Bank index gaining 0.89% with Kotak Mahindra Bank leading at +1.82%. Kunal Singla adds that the post-expiry Friday environment creates a cleaner directional framework where the prevailing bullish close should be the dominant theme in the Sensex prediction for tomorrow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Sensex prediction for tomorrow follows a session that the attached market outlook described as “broad-based strength rather than a narrow index-led move.” BSE Sensex opened at 77,468.45 on 20 August, touched 77,611.11, held 77,371.00, and settled at 77,537.72 \u2014 a strong range that reflects genuine buying conviction rather than expiry-driven positioning. Ankit Jaiswal, Research Analyst at Univest, notes that the Sensex breaching 77,500 intraday after failing to hold 76,800 just a day ago is a technically significant reversal that directly shapes the Sensex prediction for tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Kunal Singla, Research Analyst at Univest, observes that the Sensex prediction for tomorrow is further supported by the structure of today’s rally. Banking stocks \u2014 which constitute over 30% of the Sensex \u2014 led today’s recovery with Kotak Mahindra Bank (+1.82%) and Axis Bank (+1.30%) both showing institutional buying. IT stocks, the second-largest Sensex sector, extended their third consecutive recovery session. With both major Sensex drivers pointing upward, the Sensex prediction for tomorrow carries conviction that was absent during the four-day correction.<\/p>\n
