Sensex rangebound; sixteen stocks in action

NEW DELHI: The S&P BSE Sensex was trading in a narrow range with a positive bias on Tuesday, led by gains in realty, metals, banks and capital goods sectors on the back of supportive cues from global peers.

According to analysts, corporate earnings for quarter ended March and global economic situation are likely to decide the course of market in the near term.

At 10:20 a.m.; the 30-share index was at 18,457.08, up 20.30 points or 0.1 per cent. It touched a high of 18,521.73 and a low of 18,456.65 in trade today.

The Nifty was at 5,564.40, up 21.45 points or 0.4 per cent. It touched a high of 5,580.60 and a low of 5,563.40 in trade today.

"The Nifty is expected to head lower till 5500. In this period the key support will be at around 5500 and resistance will be at 5612," says Somil Mehta, Senior Tech Analyst (Equity) at Sharekhan.

"The Nifty has again faced resistance around the 20-daily moving average (DMA) and also broken the previous swing low on the weekly chart which indicates weakness in the short term," he added.

Mehta is of the view that for the Nifty the short-term bias would remain negative for a target of 5450 with reversal around 5756. The medium-term outlook would remain negative.
