Stock picks for August 1

Hemen Kapadia/ Morpheus Inc | July 31, 2003 20:59 IST

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

Banks, capital goods, consumer durables, pharma, IT and PSUs all ended on a negative note while FMCG ended marginally higher.

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

Sensex --Last Close: 3792.61 | Support: 3759, 3651 | Resistance: 3895, 4028

Trading Range -- The Sensex opened at 3796.53, moved up to an intra-day high of 3835.75, declined to an intra-day low of 3785.12 and closed at 3792.61.

Review/Outlook -- The Sensex has come off from its intra-day high on extremely high volume, which is a slight cause of concern for the near term. A range bound movement cannot be ruled out while intra-day weakness could come in below the 3785 level.

Hero Honda --Last Close: 265.80 | Support: 254, 235 | Resistance: 272, 311

Trading Range -- The scrip opened at 254.75, moved up to an intra-day high of 270.00, declined to an intra-day low of 251.50 and closed at 265.80.

Review/Outlook -- The scrip has reflected strength by posting a 11 month high and with the oscillators looking better, a further upside seems possible.

Adani Exports --Last Close: 182.10 | Support: 171, 160 | Resistance: 184, 195

Trading Range -- The scrip opened at 187.90, moved up to an intra-day high of 187.90, declined to an intra-day low of 182.00 and closed at 182.10.

Review/Outlook -- The scrip has reflected weakness by closing below a demand line and with the oscillators signalling a sell, a further downside cannot be ruled out.

BPCL --Last Close: 265.00 | Support: 249, 228 | Resistance: 272, 295

Trading Range -- The scrip opened at 270.00, moved up to an intra-day high of 273.50, declined to an intra-day low of 261.90 and closed at 265.00.

Review/Outlook -- The scrip has given a downward key reversal (bearish intra-day pattern) and with the oscillators looking negative, further depreciation seems to be on the cards.

United Phosphorus --Last Close: 294.10 | Support: 279, 250 | Resistance: 320, 343

Trading Range -- The scrip opened at 292.00, moved up to an intra-day high of 299.20, declined to an intra-day low of 289.25 and closed at 294.10.

Review/Outlook -- The scrip has given an upward breakout from a consolidation phase and with the indicators looking strong, a further upside seems to be on the cards.
