Sensex down 300 points; Nifty retest 7700 levels
NEW DELHI: The S&P BSE Sensex pared some of its losses after plunging over 300 points in trade post Reserve Bank of India’s surprise move to cut rates by 50 basis points on Tuesday.The 50-share Nifty index was also trading around its crucial psychological level of 7,800.
“On the upside, immediate resistance is at 7930 i.e. 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level. A trade above the level of 7930 may take the Index to levels of 8030-8090 being trendline resistances,” she said.

Among the sectoral indices the BSE Metals index shed about 2 per cent with Vedanta and Hindalco contributing most to the losses on the index.
