Trading strategy for May 13

The market has behaved in contrasting fashion with a lot of divergence coming in. The capital goods sector, the PSU sector, the banking sector and the second rung (read as midcap) stocks stole the limelight while IT remained distinctly weak. Volume was better while the undertone was strictly scrip specific.

Sensex -- Last Close: 2942.78 | Support: 2922, 2826 | Resistance: 3007, 3110

Trading Range -- The Sensex opened at 2955.19, moved up to an intra-day high of 2965.37, declined to an intra-day low of 2934.78 and closed at 2942.78.

Review/Outlook -- The Sensex has reflected weakness by giving a downward 'bar' reversal (bearish intra-day pattern) and could remain range bound today with a bias on the downside.

Burroughs Wellcome -- Last Close: 270.45 | Support: 266, 240 | Resistance: 300, 315

Trading Range -- The scrip opened at 260.00, moved up to an intra-day high of 271.40, declined to an intra-day low of 260.00 and closed at 270.45.

Review/Outlook -- The scrip has very nearly given an upward 'bar' reversal (bullish intra-day pattern) and has posted a 12 month high - a further upside seems possible.

Chennai Petroleum -- Last Close: 43.55 | Support: 41, 34.75 | Resistance: 44.50, 49.90

Trading Range -- The scrip opened at 041.00, moved up to an intra-day high of 043.65, declined to an intra-day low of 041.00 and closed at 043.55.

Review/Outlook -- The scrip has reflected strength by giving an upward "bar" reversal (bullish intra-day pattern) and with the oscillators in a similar frame of mind, a further upside cannot be ruled out.

SBI -- Last Close: 292.20 | Support: 276, 258 | Resistance: 293, 314

Trading Range -- The scrip opened at 287.00, moved up to an intra-day high of 293.75, declined to an intra-day low of 286.25 and closed at 292.20.

Review/Outlook --  The scrip has overcome a supply line and the 10 and 55 day averages at the same time  - further appreciation seems to be on the cards.

Wipro -- Last Close: 875.75 | Support: 841, 815 | Resistance: 896, 935

Trading Range -- The scrip opened at 896.00, moved up to an intra-day high of 906.00, declined to an intra-day low of 870.05 and closed at 875.75.

Review/Outlook -- The scrip has breached a minor demand line, has also closed below the 10 day average and with the oscillators supporting the move, a further downside cannot be ruled out.
