Satyam is reported to bag eight deals worth nearly $50 million. We are extremely positive on IT companies going forward. Though we do not have any resistance levels till 19,240 for Sensex a lot depends on today's session. A upside movement of 500-600 points on a closing basis for Sensex is likely to trigger more short covering and then followed by a pre-budget rally is likely to bring comfort levels to investors.
