The market registered an extremely volatile session, the Nifty/ Sensex closed 63/243 points lower. The Nifty/ Sensex failed to sustain above the 14500/48400 resistance mark and due to consistent selling pressure at higher levels along with tepid global cues the benchmark index corrected sharply. Among sectors, profit booking was seen in IT stocks whereas, Auto, Pharma and selective Media stocks witnessed buying interest.

We are of the view that, currently the Nifty / Sensex hovering in the range of 14600 to 14400/ 47500-49000 price range and the texture of the pattern suggest narrow range activity likely to continue in the near future. Technically, the index has formed a lower top formation which is broadly negative for the market. The intraday chart suggest correction wave likely to continue if the Nifty/ Sensex succeed to trade below 14400/48100 and below the same, the correction wave will continue up to 14200-14130/ 47350-47000 On the flip side, above 14400/48100 we can expect quick pullback rally till 14475-14525/ 48300-48500.
