The benchmark indices witnessed profit booking at higher levels on Tuesday, the NSE Nifty 50 corrected over 150 points while the BSE Sensex ended 508 points down. Among sectors, Auto, IT, FMCG and Metal indices registered profit booking at higher levels whereas some buying was seen in selective Energy stocks. Technically, on daily charts the index has formed a small bearish candle and it also formed a lower high formation on intraday charts which supports further weakness from the current levels. For the traders now, below 16150/54200 levels, the short term texture is weak. Below which, the Nifty/Sensex could retest the level of 16000-15950/53700-53500. On the flip side, if indices succeed to trade above 16150/54200 then it could touch the level of 16225-16250/54500-54600.
