Stock Market Prediction for Monday, 17 August: Nifty, Sensex to remain range-bound; Key levels to watch today
etnownews.com 1 hr ago·17 Aug 2026, 1:43 am
The Indian stock market is set for a cautious start on Monday, August 17, with both the Nifty 50 and Sensex expected to trade within a tight range. This stability follows a period of high volatility, as investors wait to see if global cues will provide fresh direction for domestic equities.
For retail investors, this range-bound activity means that sharp, quick gains or losses are less likely. The focus will remain on key technical levels, which act as support and resistance points. These levels determine whether the market can break out of its current range or if it will consolidate further before taking the next major move.
What to watch next is the movement in global markets, particularly the US and European indices. Any significant shift in these global trends could force a breakout in Indian stocks. Until then, market participants are advised to stay cautious and wait for a clear trend to emerge.
