Stock picks of the day

May 08, 2008 09:13 IST

The market has remained in a mixed state of mind, has come off its intra-day high and has finally ended the day in negative territory. Metal, Banks, Consumer Durables, Capital Goods, PSU & Realty have ended negative in varying degrees while FMCG, Healthcare, Auto, Oil & IT have ended in positive territory. Volume registered a noticeable decrease (read as turnover) while the undertone seemed subdued.

Sensex

Last Close - 17339.31 | Support - 17292, 16964 | Resistance - 17494, 17711

Trading Range - The Sensex opened at 17404.15, moved up to an intra-day high of 17413.81, declined to an intra-day low of 17229.98 and closed at 17339.31.

Review/Outlook - The Sensex has had a mixed trading session, has had a positive opening, has moved both ways, has faced selling pressure even at lower levels, has come off from its intra - day high and has finally ended in negative territory on lower volume. Volatility can be the order of the day; an intra-day downside (seems like a possibility) could come in below the 17322 level while significant support at lower levels (17205) - would limit the downside and result in a smart recovery. The outlook has turned positive again while resistance comes in at the 18300+ level and support comes in at the 16600 level.
