Mumbai: On Monday, the benchmark indices witnessed lacklustre activity as BSE Sensex was up by 66 points. Among sectors, Nifty PSE, Energy, Oil and Gas indices outperformed, rallied over two percent whereas Media index shed 1.85 per cent. Technically, after a last week promising rally, the index is witnessing range-bound activity at higher levels. However, the short-term texture of the market is still positive.

“We are of the view that, the range-bound texture is likely to continue in the near future. Hence, buying on intraday correction and sell on rallies would be the ideal strategy for the day traders,” says Shrikant Chouhan, head (equity research), Kotak Securities.

For traders now, the 74,600-73,400 would act as a key supports zones, while 74,200-74,400 could be the immediate resistance areas. On the other side, below 73,400 uptrend would be vulnerable.

Prashanth Tapse, senior V-P (research), Mehta Equities, says: “Markets were marginally up on selective buying support and scaled new highs, but gains were limited as investors traded with caution after the sharp upsurge in recent sessions. While domestic factors dictated the uptrend last week, investors will be closely watching for global cues for directional purposes in the near term.”
