Within the index, in terms of points, HDFC BANK contributed the highest on the downside followed by ICICI BANK. The short-term trend remained sideways as the index has been moving inside a 1000 points trading range for the past one month with support around 43800 and resistance around 44800. Since the range is very narrow so we may see a breakdown very soon.
