However, huge selling pressure was witnessed towards the after noon session and Nifty continuously fell to make a low of 5,187.15 yesterday. At the end of day it closed at 5,200.60. It had a net loss of 90.25 points or 1.71% over the previous day`s close. The selling was witnessed across the board. However, Realty, Information technology, Metal and Capital goods pack lead to the decline,`` said Microsec Capital. ``The daily chart of Nifty is showing that it has been moving in the narrow range of 5,350 and 5,150 since last couple of weeks. Now, Nifty is expected to get a strong support in the band of 5,150 and 5,110. If Nifty breaches 5,110, it may further go down and take support near 5,050 and then 4,940. However, a breach of 5,350 would open the gate foe 5,500 in the extreme short term. Traders are advised to maintain a stop loss at 5,110 of the long positions. On an intra-day basis Nifty has a support at 5,180 and is likely to face a stiff resistance near 5,240. If Nifty breaks 5,180, it may further go down to 5,150 and then 5,110. However, if it is able to sustain above 5,240, the level of 5,290-5,350 would become the next target.`` Disclaimer: IRIS has taken due care and caution in compilation of data for its web site.

Terrorism threatens Gulf region as much as it does India:


``I feel extremely responsible that I don't let the fans down. So we will try harder. ``As you know, I can't do much. But the team is doing its best. I think they have been playing well and ensure you are not disappointed. And you go back home extremely happy, as happy as you make us all,'' Khan said after his team snatched a much-needed victory by defeating Rajasthan Royals at the Eden Gardens here Friday night. Khan conceded that after a string of losses, ``it helps when the whole crowd is behind you especially at the Eden''. ``When we started, Juhi and me, it was 'hum karlenge'. But you realise along the way that when good things don't happen then how much it helps when the whole crowd is behind you, especially at the Eden,'' said Khan. The Bollywood 'badshah' attributed a ``sense of confidence'' to the 67,500 fans at the Eden Gardens, who cheered on the home team as they grabbed an eight-wicket win over the Royals. ``Somewhere when things go wrong, it hurts you. You feel bad, but there is a sense of confidence when you come to Eden, and see all these 70,000 people screaming and shouting. ``Everywhere whether it's in this city of Kolkata, all over Bengal, all over the country, on Twitter, on social networking, I do sense, coming from this profession, a feeling of happiness when we win. Extremely humbled, grateful, and you need this kind of backing,'' Khan said. ``Everyone feels very happy we have been having a little bit of a bad run to say the least. So it's nice to be back in Eden..I was working so I couldn't come down to the matches. So it feels nice when you come down for the matches and you win,'' the actor added.
