Trading strategy for April 22

April 21, 2003 19:40 IST

The market seems to be biding its time, waiting for some of trigger to materialise and the volume (read as turnover) would seem to indicate a lack of interest while the undertone looks to have improved a wee bit.

Sensex -- Last Close: 2996.97 | Support: 2922, 2826 | Resistance:  3007, 3110

Trading Range-  The Sensex opened at 2992.90, moved up to an intra-day high of 3002.11, declined to an intra-day low of 2985.60 and closed at 2996.97.

Review/Outlook-  The Sensex has reflected indecision by staying within the previous day's trading range but the intra-day charts would seem to indicate an upside above the 3003 level today.  

ABB -- Last Close: 314.70 | Support: 306, 288 | Resistance:  316, 330

Trading Range-  The scrip opened at 309.00, moved up to an intra-day high of 315.85, declined to an intra-day low of 307.50 and closed at 314.70.

Review/Outlook-  The scrip has recovered smartly from lower levels and with the oscillators signalling a buy, an upside cannot be ruled out.

Trading Range -  The scrip opened at 349.00, moved up to an intra-day high of 351.85, declined to an intra-day low of 345.00 and closed at 350.15.
