Stock picks for August 6

Hemen Kapadia/ Morpheus Inc | August 05, 2003 22:04 IST

The market has come off sharply from its intra-day high to end sharply in negative territory.

Banks, capital goods, consumer durables, FMCG, pharma, IT and PSUs all came under severe selling pressure to end the day on a disappointed note.

Volume registered an increase (read as turnover) while the undertone was subdued.

Sensex --Last Close: 3765.82 | Support: 3759, 3651 | Resistance: 3895, 4028

Trading Range -- The Sensex opened at 3845.93, moved up to an intra-day high of 3878.72, declined to an intra-day low of 3761.84 and closed at 3765.82.

Review/Outlook -- The Sensex has shown unsustainability at higher levels to not only reverse the early gains but ended in negative territory. It has given a downward "bar" reversal (bearish intra-day pattern) on higher volume indicating further weakness today.

Castrol --Last Close: 204.40 | Support: 185, 177 | Resistance: 207, 215

Trading Range -- The scrip opened at 201.00, moved up to an intra-day high of 206.40, declined to an intra-day low of 200.00 and closed at 204.40.

Review/Outlook -- The scrip has reflected strength to close above a supply line and with the oscillators looking better, a further upside seems possible.

Indian Rayon --Last Close: 167.80 | Support: 157, 145 | Resistance: 171, 217

Trading Range -- The scrip opened at 164.35, moved up to an intra-day high of 169.50, declined to an intra-day low of 162.20 and closed at 167.80.

Review/Outlook -- The scrip is in the midst of an intermediate uptrend and with the oscillators signalling a buy, a further upside cannot be ruled out.

Hinduja TMT --Last Close: 215.50 | Support: 205, 181 | Resistance: 238, 259

Trading Range -- The scrip opened at 225.80, moved up to an intra-day high of 225.80, declined to an intra-day low of 214.50 and closed at 215.50.

Review/Outlook -- The scrip has reflected weakness by closing below the 10 and 55 day averages and with the oscillators looking negative, further depreciation seems to be on the cards.

Oriental Bank --Last Close: 157.80 | Support: 150, 135 | Resistance: 175, 200

Trading Range -- The scrip opened at 170.00, moved up to an intra-day high of 170.80, declined to an intra-day low of 157.10 and closed at 157.80.

Review/Outlook -- The scrip has given a downward breakout from a consolidation phase and with the indicators looking weak, a further downside seems to be on the cards.
