NIFTY SLIPS IN RED; TATA MOTORS, MARUTI, COAL INDIA DOWN
DATE: 02/05/2012
The National Stock Exchange's Nifty failed to hold above intermediate resistance levels and slipped in the negative territory as profit booking intensified in auto, power, capital goods and oil & gas sectors.
Meanwhile, the rupee remained under pressure on the back of demand for the US dollar from importers. The partially convertible rupee was at 52.88, down 15 paise, against its previous close. It slipped to a low of Rs 53.02 per dollar earlier in the day.
Nifty was at 5,244.05, down 4.10 points or 0.08 percent. It touched intraday high of 5,279.60 and a low of 5,240.75.
The Bombay Stock Exchange's Sensex was at 17,335.09, up 16.28 points or 0.09 percent. It touched intraday high of 17,432.33 and a low of 17,309.69.
"Prices managed to close comfortably above the resistance of 13 and 40-hour moving averages while the overall momentum in hourly RSI (14) and MACD (12/26/9) is
positive. Hence index could trade positive and test the next resistance at 5270 and then 5310 in the coming 2-3 trading sessions.
On the downside, support is likely to be seen near 5222-5210 zone on any immediate weakness. Only a decisive breach below it would push the prices back
towards the recent low of 5154 negating the expected recovery, "said Aditya Birla Money report.
