Stocks picks for today

August 16, 2006 09:47 IST

The market has had a volatile trading session to basically come off its intra-day low and has finally ended the day clearly in positive territory. FMCG, capital goods, IT, metal, PSU, auto, oil, consumer durables and pharma have ended positive in varying degrees while banks have ended in negative territory. Volume registered a surprising decrease (read as turnover) while the undertone seemed positive.

Sensex (Daily)

Last Close - 11312.99, Support - 11286, 11186, Resistance - 11356, 11453

Trading Range: The Sensex opened at 11221.86, moved up to an intra-day high of 11330.30, declined to an intra-day low of 11221.86 and closed at 11312.99.

Review/Outlook: The Sensex has faced alternate bouts of both, buying & selling and has come off its intra-day low to end smartly in positive territory on noticeably lower volume and has managed to close above the 11000 level for the fifth trading session in a row. The outlook seems to be improving and despite the extreme volatility, a range bound movement cannot be ruled out while the intra-day charts seem rather hazy while an upside could come in only above the 11331 level while the sanctity of the 11000 level needs to be maintained at all times.
