Support is at 56,000, resistance at 56,800, with HDFC Bank&#8217;s sharp rally carrying most of Friday&#8217;s gain.<\/p>\n<p>Univest&#8217;s desk will revisit this bank nifty prediction for monday once Monday&#8217;s opening hour confirms which way things are actually breaking.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Bank Nifty closed at 56,358.70 on Friday, up 302.95 points or 0.54 percent from Thursday&#8217;s 56,055.75. It opened at 56,172.85 and ran as high as 56,497.45 intraday, a solid session on the surface. Look closer, though, and it was really one stock&#8217;s day.<\/p>\n<p>The bank nifty prediction for monday here is built from Friday&#8217;s closing prices, not speculation about what Monday will bring.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/hdfcbank\/hdfc-bank-ltd-share-price-today\">HDFC Bank<\/a> jumped 2.52 percent, its strongest session in weeks, while <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/icicibank\/icici-bank-ltd-share-price-today\">ICICI Bank<\/a> actually eased 0.65 percent the same day. That&#8217;s not the broad-based banking strength you&#8217;d want to see confirming a durable move, and it&#8217;s worth keeping in mind heading into Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone acting on this bank nifty prediction for monday should still size positions around their own comfort with risk, not just the levels above.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/user\/log-in?utm_source=blogs&#038;utm_medium=banknifty\"><strong>Click Here &#8211; Get Free Investment Predictions<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This bank nifty prediction for monday leans on Friday&#8217;s numbers because that&#8217;s the last real data available before trading resumes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fridays_Bank_Nifty_Recap\"><\/span><strong>Friday&#8217;s Bank Nifty Recap<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/indices\/nifty-bank\/nifty-bank-share-price-today\">Bank Nifty<\/a> closed at 56,358.70, up 0.54 percent, outperforming both the Nifty 50 and Sensex.<\/li>\n<li>HDFC Bank rallied 2.52 percent; ICICI Bank eased 0.65 percent, a genuine split within the sector.<\/li>\n<li>India VIX fell to 11.42, down 7.08 percent, its second straight sharp decline.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>None of this bank nifty prediction for monday is a guarantee.
