Trading strategy for July 3

The market seems to have run into profit taking at higher levels to just about finish flat. Banks, IT and PSUs were the weak spots of the day while capital goods, FMCG and pharma remained positive.

The stars of the day were very clearly consumer durables and textiles, which gave breath-taking moves.

Volume was distinctly better (read as turnover) while the undertone was mixed.

Sensex -- Last Close: 3601.39 | Support: 3545, 3467 | Resistance: 3651, 3759

Review/Outlook -- The Sensex has given a downward "key" reversal (bearish intra-day pattern) indicating the possibility of a range bound movement while the intermediate uptrend remains intact.
