Trading strategy for May 7

The market is forging ahead with positive momentum (the breadth is improving across sectors) while the volume (read as turnover) has also seen a marked corresponding increase. The PSU sector continues to revel in the limelight while Cement and auto also made their presence felt. The undertone also seemed bright enough.

Sensex -- Last Close: 2993.00 | Support: 2922, 2826 | Resistance: 3007, 3110

Trading Range -- The Sensex opened at 2981.87, moved up to an intra-day high of 3001.21, declined to an intra-day low of 2972.33 and closed at 2993.00.

Review/Outlook -- The Sensex has continued its upward march while there seems to be some resistance at the psychologically important level of 3000. The oscillators have also turned positive while an intra-day upside (seems possible) could materialise only above the 3002 level.

BHEL -- Last Close: 242.30 | Support: 234, 221 | Resistance: 247, 268

Trading Range -- The scrip opened at 240.00, moved up to an intra-day high of 244.60, declined to an intra-day low of 238.00 and closed at 242.30.

Review/Outlook -- The scrip seems to be not only in a short term but also in an intermediate uptrend and with the oscillators holding firm, a further upside seems possible.

Telco -- Last Close: 159.85 | Support: 148, 135 | Resistance: 168, 186

Trading Range -- The scrip opened at 154.80, moved up to an intra-day high of 160.15, declined to an intra-day low of 154.10 and closed at 159.85.

Review/Outlook -- The scrip has given an upward breakout from a trading range, has reflected intra-day strength while a further upside cannot be ruled out.

Apollo Hospitals -- Last Close: 102.05 | Support: 97, 90 | Resistance: 106, 120

Trading Range -- The scrip opened at 098.15, moved up to an intra-day high of 102.90, declined to an intra-day low of 097.95 and closed at 102.05.

Review/Outlook -- The scrip has reflected strength by closing above the 10 day average, 55 day average, a tested supply line while further appreciation seems to be on the cards.

IBP -- Last Close: 218.25 | Support: 203, 192 | Resistance: 227, 240

Trading Range -- The scrip opened at 216.80, moved up to an intra-day high of 219.50, declined to an intra-day low of 216.50 and closed at 218.25.

Review/Outlook -- The scrip seems to have stopped to catch its breath after giving an upward breakout from its trading range -- while a continuation of its upmove should see further upside.
