Stock picks of the day

March 23, 2006 09:28 IST

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

Sensex (Daily)

Last Close - 10841 | Support - 10740, 10662 | Resistance - 10884, 11000

Trading Range - The Sensex opened at 10900, moved up to an intra-day high of 10935, declined to an intra-day low of 10784 and closed at 10841.

Review/Outlook - The Sensex has reflected some amount of weakness by breaching the previous four trading session's intra-day lows to end in negative territory indicating the probable onset of a minor correction. The Sensex might decline in intra-day movements especially below the 10784 level while the low volume decline could mean a late recovery especially if the depreciation takes place early on.
