The market has remained in a mixed state of mind, has come off its intra-day low and has finally ended the day sharply in positive territory. Consumer Durables, Healthcare, Banks, Oil, Auto, IT, FMCG, Capital Goods, Realty, Metal & PSU have ended positive in varying degrees while no sector has ended in negative territory.

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

Sensex (Daily)

Last Close | 18115.25; Support | 17953, 17494; Resistance | 18319, 18632

Trading Range: The Sensex opened at 17541.17, moved up to an intra-day high of 18142.92, declined to an intra-day low of 17445.05 and closed at 18115.25.

Review/Outlook: The Sensex has had a mixed trading session, has had a negative opening, has moved both ways, has received buying support at lower levels, has come off from its intra - day low and has finally ended sharply in positive territory on higher volume. Volatility can be the order of the day; an intra-day upside (seems like a possibility) could come in above the 18131 level while significant resistance at higher levels (18412) | would limit the upside. The outlook has turned neutral again while resistance comes in at the 18800+ level and support comes in at the 16200 level.
