weak with volumes remaining thin during the sessions.
The partial revival in the Sensex above 6000 levels was broken with the downfall,
technical market men believe the Sensex could witness a gradual fall up to 5500
levels in the near future.

lull period till elections may continue which could see the market in a consolidation
phase between 5450 to 5970 levels. Investors are advised not to make additional
commitments for the time being.
