Stock piks of the day

March 03, 2008 09:17 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 negative territory. Banks, FMCG, Healthcare & Auto have ended positive in varying degrees while Capital Goods, Auto, Metal, PSU, Oil, Banks, Consumer Durables, IT & Realty have ended in negative territory. Volume registered a noticeable increase (read as turnover) while the undertone seemed shaky.

Last Close - 17578.72 | Support - 17494, 17292 | Resistance - 17711, 17983

Trading Range - The Sensex opened at 17779.54, moved up to an intra-day high of 17779.54, declined to an intra-day low of 17258.20 and closed at 17578.72.

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 in negative territory on higher volume. Volatility can be the order of the day; an intra-day downside (seems like a distinct possibility) could come in below the 17569 level while significant support at lower levels (17184) - would limit the downside. The outlook has turned neutral again while resistance comes in at the 18800+ level and support comes in at the 16200 level.
