Stocks and Triggers to Watch in the Nifty Auto Space

Autos fell 1.07 percent, the widest fall among the sector indices Univest tracks, while the Nifty 50 fell 0.61 percent. Traders usually track the heavyweights inside the index and fuel price moves, since both feed into demand sentiment.

In the F&O segment, the Nifty options data Univest checked shows the nearest expiry on 17 November 2026. Call open interest was highest at the 25,500 strike and put open interest at the 25,000 strike, with a put-call ratio of approximately 0.83, which means call open interest is larger than put open interest. India VIX fell 5.05 percent to 15.78. Univest's analysts treat these strikes as reference points for the broader market, not as predictions for Nifty Auto.

In short, the nifty auto prediction for Monday rests on Friday's verified close and the overnight risks listed below.

These are educational views, not buy calls, and each should be checked against your own risk plan before acting.

How Friday's Broader Session Unfolded

Nifty Auto fell 1.07 percent and Nifty Metal fell 0.98 percent, while Nifty FMCG was almost flat, down 0.01 percent, and Nifty PSU Bank fell 0.51 percent. India VIX, the market's fear gauge, fell 5.05 percent to 15.78 from 16.62, after trading between 15.30 and 16.88 during the day. The Nifty 50 closed at 25,144.30 on Friday, down 0.61 percent from Thursday's close of 25,299.35. It opened at 25,209.85, touched a high of 25,246.35, fell to 25,054.40 and finished about 90 points above the low. The Sensex closed at 81,592.45, down 0.39 percent, while the Bank Nifty closed at 61,034.10, down 0.79 percent, after opening at its high of 61,300.55. Nifty Next 50 fell 0.83 percent and the Nifty 500 fell 0.55 percent, while Nifty Midcap 50 was almost flat, down 0.04 percent, so mid-caps held up better than the large-cap benchmark. In the options market, the Nifty put-call ratio was approximately 0.83, with call open interest highest at the 25,500 strike and put open interest highest at 25,000, for the 17 November expiry. The trigger for Friday's moves was not independently confirmed.

Placed against that backdrop, the nifty auto prediction for Monday reads Friday's move in the context of a broader market that closed lower.

Analyst View for Monday

Kunal Singla suggests that Nifty Auto needs a recovery toward 28,231.00, the previous close, to improve the tone, with 27,846.95 the first support.

Ankit Jaiswal flags that a close back above 28,123.10, the open, would be the first sign of stabilisation, while 27,846.95 is the low to watch

Both analysts stress that the nifty auto prediction for Monday is a view built on levels and data, not a forecast of returns.

A fair reading of this nifty auto prediction for Monday is that Friday's data sets the context, while Monday's first hour decides how much of it carries forward.
