Stock picks of the day

March 18, 2008 09:41 IST

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

Sensex (Daily)                                                                     

Last Close - 14809.49 | Support - 14732, 14431 | Resistance - 15037, 15330

Trading Range - The Sensex opened at 15326.93, moved up to an intra-day high of 15326.93, declined to an intra-day low of 14738.27 and closed at 14809.49. 

Review/Outlook - The Sensex has had a weak trading session, has had a negative opening, has moved just one way, has received selling pressure even at lower levels, has come off from its intra - day high and has finally ended sharply in negative territory on lower volume. Volatility can be the order of the day; an intra-day upside (seems like a possibility) could come in above the 14824 level while significant resistance at higher levels (15100) - would limit the upside. The outlook has turned negative again while resistance comes in at the 18800+ level and support comes in at the 14700 level.
