But, Indices paired of its gains as profit booking at higher levels pulled it down. Banking, FMCG, IT and Oil & Gas went for profit booking. Sensex slipped into red zone at final trade but managed to end in green. Cement stocks witnessed selling pressure after good rally last week. Auto stocks cames out with their Monthly sales number.

Technical Speaking: Momentom has Pushed up sensex to new high at 14746 levels. Sensex touched an intraday high of 14746 levels and low of 14639 levels. Volumes were good as the market churned Rs. 4303 Cr. Overall breadth was in favor of Advances, where the Advancers were 1490 against 1163 Decliners. As we have been telling for sometime now that the trend is up and we are mostly likely to make a new high on Sensex, a new high was made today. Some signals of worry today as we could not close above previous high. The sentiment is still bullish but caution should be taken and fresh entry should be avoided if Sensex goes below 14550. Market is extremely bullish & money flows are strong which keeps good support.
