The Nifty 50 futures prediction for tomorrow is driven by four simultaneous variables: the FOMC minutes release tonight (overnight gap risk), the 21 May Thursday weekly expiry (2 sessions away), the FII buying reversal of Rs 2,642.17 crore on 18 May (bullish flow signal) and Tuesday&#8217;s session pattern of gap-up open at 23,675.30 followed by afternoon sell-off to 23,618.<\/p><p>Ankit Jaiswal, Senior Research Analyst at Univest, notes that Tuesday&#8217;s Nifty session was a bearish reversal pattern: the index opened at 23,675.30 (above Monday&#8217;s close), rallied to a high of 23,782.30 by early afternoon, but then experienced sustained afternoon selling to close at 23,618.00, forming a bearish intraday reversal. This pattern is a caution signal for the Nifty 50 futures prediction for tomorrow: the 23,800 resistance has now been tested and rejected for four consecutive sessions, confirming it as a strong supply zone in the Nifty 50 futures prediction for tomorrow.<\/p><div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div

Jaiswal&#8217;s Nifty 50 futures prediction for tomorrow is range-bound with a cautious undertone. The 23,800 resistance has now been tested and rejected in four of the past five sessions, with Tuesday&#8217;s high of 23,782.30 being the closest approach before the afternoon sell-off. On the downside, the Nifty closed near 23,618, which is above the 5paisa-confirmed support of 23,362 by 256 points, providing room for one more downleg before reaching critical support in the Nifty 50 futures prediction for tomorrow.<\/p><p>The positive carry of approximately 50 points on Nifty May futures (+5.5% annualised cost of carry) confirms that institutional longs are not unwinding into the futures market, a relative positive in the Nifty 50 futures prediction for tomorrow. The RSI holding below 50 without an oversold reading means the market is in cautious momentum territory, consistent with the range-bound Nifty 50 futures prediction for tomorrow rather than a trend break in either direction.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nifty_50_Futures_Prediction_for_Tomorrow_Kunal_Singla_Analysis\"><\/span><strong>Nifty 50 Futures Prediction for Tomorrow: Kunal Singla Analysis<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p>Kunal Singla&#8217;s Nifty 50 futures prediction for tomorrow identifies 23,620 as the intraday bull-bear pivot for Wednesday. A Nifty 50 futures open and hold above 23,620 in the first 15 minutes confirms the bull case and targets the 23,800 to 23,938 zone. A break below 23,600 in the first 15-minute candle confirms the bearish reversal pattern from Tuesday and targets 23,450 to 23,362 in the Nifty 50 futures prediction for tomorrow.<\/p><p>The FII buying reversal of Rs 2,642.17 crore on 18 May is the most constructive signal in Singla&#8217;s Nifty 50 futures prediction for tomorrow. When FII turns from seller to buyer, Nifty futures typically see premium expansion (futures trade further above spot), which is bullish for the near-month contract price. However, with FOMC tonight, no new overnight Nifty 50 futures position should be held, regardless of how constructive the Wednesday session appears in the Nifty 50 futures prediction for tomorrow framework.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nifty_50_Futures_Strategy_for_Wednesday_20_May_2026\"><\/span><strong>Nifty 50 Futures Strategy for Wednesday 20 May 2026<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Long_Buy_Above_23650_Futures_Target_23800\"><\/span><strong>Long: Buy Above 23,650 Futures, Target 23,800<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p>Enter long Nifty May futures only if the first 15-minute candle closes above 23,650 on Wednesday with upward momentum. Target: 23,800. Stop loss: 23,550 intraday closing basis.

Nifty 50 touched 23,782.30 in the afternoon session today but failed to hold,<\/strong> closing at 23,618. This is the fourth consecutive session where Nifty tested the 23,800 zone and was rejected. Four rejections confirm a strong supply cluster at 23,800 in the Nifty 50 futures prediction for tomorrow, requiring a catalyst (such as dovish FOMC minutes or strong FII buying) to breach this resistance.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_analysts_prepared_the_Nifty_50_futures_prediction_for_tomorrow\"><\/span><strong>Which analysts prepared the Nifty 50 futures prediction for tomorrow?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p><strong>Ans.
