Stock picks of the day

February 20, 2006 07:57 IST

The market opened with an upward gap but hasn't been able to sustain itself at higher levels and has ended the day sharply in negative territory. Banks, Consumer Durables, Pharma, Metals, Auto, PSU, FMCG, Capital Goods and Oil and have ended negative in varying degrees while only the IT sector has ended in positive territory. Volume registered an increase (read as turnover) while the undertone seemed subdued.

Sensex (Daily)

Last Close - 9981.11 | Support - 9880, 9820 | Resistance - 9987, 10100

Review/Outlook - The Sensex has spent the entire last week trying to overcome the 10200 level but has been able to do so and has in fact gone the other way to close below the psychologically important level of 10000. The Sensex has given a downward key reversal on the weekly chart and a further intra-day downside below the 9970 level cannot be ruled out while support comes in at the 9945 level.
