Stock picks of the day

January 22, 2008 09:11 IST

The market has remained in a weak state of mind, has come off its intra-day high and has finally ended the day in negative territory. Capital Goods, Consumer Durables, FMCG, Auto, Metals, PSU, Banks, Healthcare, Oil, Realty & IT have ended negative in varying degrees while no sector has ended in positive territory. Volume registered a noticeable increase (read as turnover) while the undertone seemed panicky.

Sensex (Daily)                                                                     

Last Close - 17605.35 | Support - 17494, 17361 | Resistance - 17953, 18319

Trading Range - The Sensex opened at 18919.57, moved up to an intra-day high of 18919.57, declined to an intra-day low of 16951.50 and closed at 17605.35. 

Review/Outlook - The Sensex has had a weak trading session, has had a negative opening, has moved just one way, has faced selling pressure even at lower levels, has come off from its intra - day high and has finally ended sharply in negative territory on higher volume. Volatility can be the order of the day; an intra-day downside (seems like a possibility) could come in below the 17699 level while significant support at lower levels (17000) – would limit the downside. The outlook has turned negative again while resistance comes in at the 21200+ level and support comes in at the 17292 level.
