Stock picks for today

May 16, 2006 10:03 IST

The market has been in the midst of a precipitous fall to end the day sharply in negative territory. Capital Goods, Banks, Auto, Pharma, FMCG, Consumer Durables, PSU, Metals, IT and Oil have ended negative in varying degrees while no sector has ended in positive territory.

Volume registered a noticeable increase (read as turnover) while the undertone seemed panicky.

Sensex (Daily)

Last Close -- 11822.20; Support -- 11707, 11618; Resistance -- 11826, 11931

Trading Range: The Sensex opened at 12272.64, moved up to an intra-day high of 12272.64, declined to an intra-day low of 11770.76 and closed at 11822.20.

Review/Outlook: The Sensex has reflected a significant amount of weakness by virtually collapsing from an intra-day point of view and this time around on clearly higher volume to end sharply in negative territory.

The outlook continues to remain positive, as the bigger picture remains quite solid, the intra-day picture has been battered beyond recognition while the possibility of an intra-day downside especially below the 11770 level cannot be ruled out but strong support at lower levels would suggest a late recovery.
