Nifty seems to have taken a prolonged breather at 8190-8200 after rallying from its major support at 7900 levels.
 
Sensex too hovered around 26600-26700 levels during the day. Markets were driven majorly by the Auto sales data that came in mixed and India’s services activity that remained unchanged at 47.6 in December from previous year and contracted from November’s 49.1 on the back of cash crunch in the economy.
 
The Midcap index witnessed a turnaround and underperformed while Small cap maintained outperformance with 0.4% gains.
 
Overall Advance to decline ratio for NSE came in at 3:2 . On the sectoral front Realty and IT outperformed with 2.2% and 1.3% gains.
 
Banks and Financial services dragged the markets down with nearly 0.8% losses on an average.
 
Telecom brothers Infratel and Bharti Airtel were the top gainers while Reliance and Kotak Bank were the top losers. 
 
Going forward we hold 8240 followed by 8300 as our next resistances for the Nifty provided 8215 is broken on closing basis. On the contrary if markets retreat from the said levels we 8020 followed by 7900 as the medium term supports for the Nifty.
