Stocks to watch

Sensex

Next medium term target for the Sensex is between 17,400 and 17,900. Close below 16,000 is needed to put the positive medium-term outlook in jeopardy.

The bottom-line is that we do not have trend reversal signals on the charts yet and the rally can progress a little further. But only the most agile traders should be playing this up-trend since the decline that follows can be quite steep.

The three-day trading week ahead could see range-bound trading with a positive bias as most market participants take a much-earned break.

Short-term supports for the Sensex are 16,380 and 16,000.

Traders can buy in declines as long as the first support holds. Short term targets are 16,940, 17,100 and 17,375.
