Stock picks of the day

April 24, 2006 07:40 IST

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

Sensex (Daily)

Last Close - 12030.30 | Support - 12000, 11931 | Resistance - 12100, 12200

Trading Range - The Sensex opened at 12053.90, moved up to an intra-day high of 12102.00, declined to an intra-day low of 11860.35 and closed at 12030.30.

Review/Outlook - The Sensex has once again created history to post a fresh all time high but has also given a downward key reversal on the daily chart on higher volume which is a cause for some concern. The outlook continues to remain positive, as the bigger picture remains quite solid while the intra-day picture seems to have stagnated once again indicating the possibility of a range bound movement while intra-day action could come in above the 12102 or below the 11860 level.
