Mumbai: In the last session of the week, the benchmark indices experienced a volatile trading session. The Sensex closed the week largely unchanged. Among sectors, the Capital Market and PSU bank indices outperformed, with the Capital Market gaining 4.85 per cent and the PSU bank index rallying 4.7 per cent. During the week, the market slipped below 83,000 but bounced back sharply due to oversold conditions. “We are of the view that the current market formation is volatile and non-directional, and the short-term activity indicating a non-directional trend is likely to continue in the near future,” says Amol Athawale of Kotak Securities. On the downside, 83,000 and 82,700 would act as key support zones, while the daily SMA (Simple Moving Average) at 84,600 and the 20-day SMA at 84,800 would be crucial resistance levels for the bulls.
