Stock picks of the day

February 03, 2006 09:15 IST

The market hasn't been able to sustain itself at higher levels after recording early gains and has ended the day in negative territory. Capital Goods, Auto, Banks, Oil, Consumer Durables, PSU and the IT sector have ended negative in varying degrees while FMCG, Pharma and Metals have ended in positive territory. Volume registered a noticeable decrease (read as turnover) while the undertone seemed subdued.

Sensex (Daily)

Last Close - 9859.26 | Support - 9820, 9665 | Resistance - 9987, 10100

Trading Range - The Sensex opened at 9959.24, moved up to an intra-day high of 9993.92, declined to an intra-day low of 9819.32 and closed at 9859.26.

Review/Outlook - The Sensex has remained relatively range bound but selling pressure continues to come in at the 9940+ levels indicating a lack of sustainability at higher levels. The Sensex has once again cooled off from an intra-day point of view to end in negative territory on lower volume and while intra-day weakness below the 9816 level cannot be ruled out, a late recovery seems to be on the cards.
