Stock picks of the day

April 01, 2008 09:38 IST

The market has remained in a mixed state of mind, has come off its intra-day high and has finally ended the day in negative territory. Banks, Capital Goods, IT, Auto, Oil, PSU, Metal, Realty, Consumer Durables, FMCG & Healthcare have ended negative in varying degrees while no sector has ended in positive territory. Volume registered a noticeable decrease (read as turnover) while the undertone seemed shaky.

Sensex

Last Close - 15644.44 | Support - 15330, 15037 | Resistance - 15734, 15956

Trading Range - The Sensex opened at 16226.66, moved up to an intra-day high of 16226.66, declined to an intra-day low of 15563.15 and closed at 15644.44.

Review/Outlook - The Sensex has had a mixed trading session, has had a negative opening, has moved just one way, has faced selling pressure even at lower levels, has come off from its intra - day high and has finally ended sharply in negative territory on lower volume. Volatility can be the order of the day; an intra-day upside (seems like a possibility) could come in above the 15662 level while significant resistance at higher levels (15800) - would limit the upside. The outlook has turned neutral again while resistance comes in at the 18800+ level and support comes in at the 14700 level.
