Mumbai,(Aryavarth) The key Indian equity indices traded on a negative note on Wednesday with the BSE Sensex down over 100 points.
Heavy selling was witnessed in metal and power stocks.
Around 10.10 a.m., Sensex was trading at 52,645.30, lower by 127.75 points or 0.24 per cent from its previous close of 52,773.05.

Manish Hathiramani, technical analyst with Deen Dayal Investments said: “The index seems to be taking a breather this morning. It has resisted at the 15,900 level yesterday but still seems poised to achieve 16,000-16,100.”
“The current support is at 15,700 and as long as that holds on a closing basis, traders can be rest assured that the trend continues to remain on the upside and any bout of selling or correction can be well utilised to accumulate long positions on the Nifty.”
