Stock picks of the day

February 14, 2008 09:15 IST

The market has remained in a mixed state of mind, has come off its intra-day low and has finally ended the day in positive territory. Banks, Oil, Auto, IT, FMCG, Capital Goods, Realty, Metal & PSU have ended positive in varying degrees while Consumer Durables & Healthcare have ended in negative territory. Volume registered a noticeable increase (read as turnover) while the undertone seemed better.

Sensex (Daily)                                                                     

Last Close - 16949.14 | Support - 16681, 16416 | Resistance - 16964, 17184

Trading Range - The Sensex opened at 16816.94, moved up to an intra-day high of 17141.06, declined to an intra-day low of 16725.68 and closed at 16949.14. 

Review/Outlook – The Sensex has had a mixed trading session, has had a positive opening, has moved both ways, has received buying support at lower levels, has come off from its intra - day low and has finally ended 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 16968 level while significant resistance at higher levels (17293) – would limit the upside. The outlook has turned negative again while resistance comes in at the 18800+ level and support comes in at the 16200 level.
