Broad-based rally unfolds

The markets witnessed a broad-based rally, as index heavyweights joined the upward trend along with banking, mid-cap and Old Economy stocks. Tech stocks continued to show a mixed trend, due to negative reports on the proposed L1 visa bill to be introduced in the US house of Representatives. Despite this, occasional bouts of buying were seen in select frontline and second rung tech stocks. Traders and speculators continued to build speculative positions into banking and a few old economy stocks. FII investments in the meanwhile continued to improve during the course of the week, as they continued to remain net buyers. On the other hand, mutual funds also joined the party and were marginal buyers.

The benchmark BSE Sensex moved above the resistance levels of 3,085 and 3,115 level, which augurs well. It is likely to fill the price gap formed between 3,174 and 3,164 level on April 9. However, it is important that it continues to sustain and consolidate above the 3,080 level. Intermediate bouts of correction are likely to be witnessed and the Sensex is likely to face resistance at the 3,207 level. On the downside, the 3,080 level would act as an important support level for the Sensex.

The CMC stock moved in a range of Rs 60.70, touching an intra-day high of Rs 477.70 on May 22 and an intra-day low of Rs 417 on May 27. CMC’s downslide continued as it fell below its support level of Rs 425, but has been able to bounce back above this level. It is likely to once again test its support level of Rs 425, if it fails to sustain above this level, it is likely to decline to test the Rs 395 level. On the upside, the Rs 455 level is an important resistance level.

Digital GlobalSoft
Digital moved in a range of Rs 54.70, touching an intra-day high of Rs 521.80 on May 22 and intra-day low of Rs 467.10 on May 27.

It has formed a minor positive divergence pattern and a minor rally is likely to unfold, which could take it to its resistance level of Rs 551. On the downside, the Rs 463 level is an important support level.

Infosys Technologies
Infosys moved in a range of Rs 209, touching an intra-day high of Rs 2,780 on May 22 and an intra-day low of Rs 2,571 on May 26. Though, it fell below its support level of Rs 2,653 level, it was able to bounce back above this level. It has formed a minor positive divergence pattern and a minor rally is on the cards, which is likely to take Infosys to test its resistance level of Rs 3,070. On the downside, the Rs 2,653 level is an important support level, but if this level is breached it is likely to test the Rs 2,300 level.
