Avoid long positions at current levels and keep tight stop losses if done so, says Mohit Gaba -Technical analyst.

Key benchmark indices extended losses in noon deals pulled down by selling pressure in financial heavyweights among other frontline stocks. Also, weakness in the Asian market weighed down on the sentiment.

Investors' profit-taking on Thursday brought Asian markets off three-week highs scaled a day earlier on the back of comments from the Federal Reserve's new chairwoman, Janet Yellen, over the prospects for U.S. growth. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan fell 0.4 percent after having gained 4.5 percent in the previous five sessions. Japan's Nikkei fell 1.0 percent after 4.6 percent rise in the past three days.

At The 30-share Sensex of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) slipped 158 and is quoting at 20448.49 down and the 50-unit National Stock Exchange (NSE) Nifty slipped below its key support level at 6050, sliding 53 point, quoting at 6,031 levels.

Mohit Gaba –Independent Techical analyst, is of the view that Nifty can potentially slide downwards if it falls below 6,000. Mohit also speaks on today's buzzing stocks and picks stocks that could give 8-10% returns in this weak market.

How are pharma stocks such as Cipla, Sun pharma and Lupin placed technically? Cipla is under pressure today after reporting its Q3 nos
I would stay away from Cipla, its having negative price movement in a sector with a lot of tailwinds, Sun Pharma is a good chart to enter but one should have a stop loss of 604 or 580 for a longer term holding period. Lupin can also be bought but have a stop loss at 880

Tata Motors has run up, One could go long but have a stop loss of 370, The reason I am giving tight stop losses with all my long advice is cause the market could move lower, and if that happens then most likely all these stocks also move lower, in that case I would prefer tight stop losses.
