Stocks subdued; Nifty holds 4800

Sunday, September 13, 2009
Stocks remained subdued as losses in realty and metal stocks took a toll on sentiment. But key indices pulled back marginally with the Nifty regaining the 4800 mark.

“In the minor term, support for Nifty continues to remain at 4780. If this level is broken then we could see selling pressure emerging and Nifty might test 4720 or 4680. And in the slightly intermediate term, support exist at 4560, unless Nifty breaks below 4560 with huge volume this trend is safe and every dip is a buying opportunity. Resistance is at 4900; if this level is breached with positive market breadth and huge volumes then the next target is 5050-5200,” said Nirmal Bang Securities in a technical note.
