Sensex Prediction for Tomorrow: Index Ends at 81,911 After Giving Up 415 Points From Its High on Expiry Day (13 November 2026, Friday)

The Sensex prediction for tomorrow starts with an expiry-day session that faded from the high. The index opened at 81,762.27, touched 82,325.61 and then dropped to 81,576.15 before closing at 81,911.01, which keeps it above its 200-day average by about 6.3%.

Ankit Jaiswal, Senior Research Analyst at Univest, flags that 82,000 is a dense call strike, holding about 2.57 lakh calls on the 19 November series against 2.04 lakh puts. Kunal Singla, Associate Director at Univest, suggests reading the first hour for direction, because India's inflation print and Wall Street's Thursday session both land after the Indian close.

Sensex Prediction for Tomorrow: Support, Resistance and Trend

The Sensex prediction for tomorrow is positive but stretched. The index sits well above its 20-day, 50-day and 200-day averages, but the daily RSI is near 96 and the call open interest above the close is heavier than the put open interest.

Index	Close	Bias	Support	Resistance
Sensex	81,911.01	Positive but stretched	81,900, 81,576 and 81,500	82,000, 82,326 and 82,500

The first support at 81,900 is only 11 points under the close and carries about 1.07 lakh puts. The second support at 81,500 holds about 0.70 lakh puts, and 81,000 holds the heaviest put base in the range at about 1.48 lakh. A close below 81,000 would open a path toward 80,500, and the supertrend floor near 78,483 would be the next technical line.

What the Daily Indicators Say About the Sensex Tomorrow

Indicator	Reading	Meaning
RSI (14)	about 96	Far above 70, so a pause or consolidation is likely
20-day EMA	77,469	Price is about 5.7% above it
50-day SMA	74,975	Price is about 9.3% above it
200-day SMA	77,057	Price is about 6.3% above it
MACD vs signal	+2,047.0 vs +1,240.5	Above zero and above its signal line
Supertrend (10, 3)	Bullish, floor 78,483	Trend direction is up while price holds above it

The readings behind the Sensex outlook for tomorrow favour a positive trend that is short-term stretched. Analysts at Univest suggest that holding above 81,000 keeps the structure intact, while a slide toward the 200-day average near 77,057 would signal that the rally is fading.

What the Weekly Option Chain Shows for the Sensex Tomorrow

Strike	Open Interest (lakh)	Reading
82,500	1.34 calls and 0.29 puts	Outer call hurdle
82,200	1.06 calls and 0.36 puts	Minor hurdle below the day high
82,000	2.57 calls and 2.04 puts	Heaviest strike, a round-number hurdle 89 points above the close
81,900	0.92 calls and 1.07 puts	Just under the close, puts slightly heavier
81,500	0.43 calls and 0.70 puts	Second support
81,000	0.52 calls and 1.48 puts	Heaviest put base in the range

The series expires on Thursday, 19 November, and total open interest is about 27 lakh puts against 33 lakh calls. For the Sensex prediction for tomorrow, the 82,000, 81,900 and 81,000 strikes matter most.

Sensex Prediction for Tomorrow: Scenarios and Strategy

Scenario	Trigger	What It Would Suggest
Positive	Close above 82,000 with rising volume	A move toward 82,326 and 82,500, near the day high and the outer call strike
Base case	Trade between 81,600 and 82,100	Consolidation around the 82,000 strike, the usual pattern for the Sensex tomorrow

• For the Sensex tomorrow, allow the first 30 minutes to pass before judging direction, since the open will reflect the inflation print and Wall Street's Thursday session.
• Treat 81,500 as the line that decides whether the rally holds.

What Does Sentiment Indicate for the Sensex Tomorrow?

Sentiment for the Sensex tomorrow is constructive but crowded. Foreign institutions have recorded steady inflows this month, crude has eased and India VIX fell to 16.59, but the RSI is near 96 and the put-call ratio of 0.83 shows heavier call writing above the close.

Ankit Jaiswal suggests watching whether the index can hold above 81,500 during the first hour, since that would keep the rally intact. Kunal Singla flags that the early high of 82,326 was not held and that the new weekly series is still building, so a repeat of that fade may change the picture for the Sensex tomorrow.

Risks to the Sensex Prediction for Tomorrow

• A hawkish shift in US rate expectations or weakness in global technology stocks could change risk appetite before the open.
• An Indian inflation print at or above 6% could revive worries about the rate path and weigh on bank stocks, which led Thursday.
• Profit-taking after the steep rise could pull the index below 81,500 without any change in the wider trend.
• On the upside, steady foreign inflows and lower crude could carry the index through 82,000 faster than expected.

Conclusion

The Sensex prediction for tomorrow is positive but stretched, with 81,900 and 81,500 as support and 82,000 and 82,500 as resistance. Ankit Jaiswal and Kunal Singla suggest that a close above 82,000 would extend the rally, while a break below 81,500 would weaken it. The Sensex outlook for tomorrow is a view, not a guarantee. These are educational views, so size every decision to your own risk plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Sensex prediction for tomorrow, 13 November 2026?

Ans. The Sensex prediction for tomorrow starts from Thursday's close of 81,911.01 (+0.04%), after a range of 81,576.15 to 82,325.61. Analysts at Univest expect a range of 81,500 to 82,300 on Friday, with a close above 82,000 needed to extend the rally and a close below 81,500 likely to weaken it. India's October inflation print, released after the close, may add volatility.

What are the Sensex support and resistance levels for tomorrow?

Ans. For the Sensex tomorrow, support sits at 81,900 and 81,500, with the Thursday low of 81,576 between them. Put open interest is about 1.07 lakh at 81,900, 0.70 lakh at 81,500 and 1.48 lakh at 81,000. Resistance sits at 82,000 and 82,500, where call open interest is about 2.57 lakh and 1.34 lakh. The 82,326 day high is the first marker above 82,000.

Why did the Sensex rise only 0.04% on Thursday?

Ans. The Sensex touched 82,325.61 but gave up about 415 points to close at 81,911.01, on its weekly expiry day. Banks gained, with Nifty PSU Bank up 1.51% and Nifty Private Bank up 0.87%, but Nifty Auto fell 1.02%, Nifty FMCG fell 0.74% and Nifty IT fell 0.41%. TCS fell 1.20% and Hindustan Unilever fell 1.47%, which offset the gains in SBI and ICICI Bank.

Is the Sensex overbought?

Ans. The daily 14-period RSI is about 96, which sits far above the 70 mark that traders call overbought. The index is about 5.7% above its 20-day average of 77,469 and about 6.3% above its 200-day average of 77,057. Analysts at Univest read this as a sign that the Sensex may consolidate before trying to extend the rally.

What does the Sensex put-call ratio of 0.83 mean?

Ans. A ratio of 0.83 on the weekly series that expires on Thursday, 19 November, means call open interest is about 21% larger than put open interest, which points to more resistance than support above the close. Total open interest stands at about 33 lakh calls and 27 lakh puts. The series is new, so the totals can shift quickly in the coming sessions.

How does the Sensex expiry date affect tomorrow?

Ans. The weekly Sensex contract expired on Thursday, 12 November, so Friday is the first session of the new series that expires on 19 November. Open interest is still building, which means the strikes at 81,500, 82,000 and 82,500 can change. Analysts at Univest suggest checking the open interest again each morning before relying on a level.

Which Sensex stocks are on the watchlist for tomorrow?

Ans. HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, SBI, Reliance Industries, TCS and Hindustan Unilever are the heavyweights flagged for Friday. These are watchlist ideas, not buy calls, and each should be checked against your own risk plan before acting.
