The market has just about improved while the previously mentioned divergence very much apparent. Mid-cap stocks shot through the roof while mainline stocks continued to falter. The star of the day (besides the Capital Goods, FMCG, PSU's) was undoubtedly the textile sector, volume was better while the undertone was hopeful.

Sensex -- Last Close: 2960.62 | Support: 2922, 2826 | Resistance: 3007, 3110

Review/Outlook -- The Sensex has reflected indecision by staying within the previous day's trading range while a positive closing and the intra-day charts would seem to suggest a further upside today.

Trading Range -- The scrip opened at 310.00, moved up to an intra-day high of 324.45, declined to an intra-day low of 310.00 and closed at 319.65.

Review/Outlook -- The scrip has given an upward 'key' reversal (bullish intra-day pattern) and has also sustained above the 10 and 55 day averages while a further upside seems possible.

Trading Range -- The scrip opened at 138.40, moved up to an intra-day high of 140.95, declined to an intra-day low of 138.00 and closed at 140.50.
