The formation of Stalled pattern with upper shadow against yesterdays huge bull candle on daily chart still indicates selling pressure on higher levels. In this case, as we said in previous note, if Sensex succeeds to hold above 18950 and sustain above 19050 then only it will continue its rise above 19300 levels in coming trade.
