Weekly Trading Guide: SBI

SBI (302.5)

SBI surged breaking above the key ₹300-₹302 resistance zone last week, but failed to get a strong follow-through buying. The stock made a high of ₹307.2 and has come-off, giving back some of the gains.

However, the outlook remains positive. Immediate support is at ₹300 and the next key support is in the ₹295-293 region. An up-move to ₹310 and ₹312 is likely in the near term. A break above ₹312 will increase the likelihood of the up-move extending towards ₹320 and ₹322.

As being reiterated over the last couple of weeks, the region around ₹322 is a crucial long-term resistance and the price action around it will need a close watch. The stock will come under pressure only if it declines below ₹293 decisively.

The next targets are ₹285 and ₹280. But a fall below ₹293 looks unlikely at the moment as fresh buyers are likely to emerge at lower levels.

Traders can hold the long positions taken above ₹294 with a revised stop-loss at ₹301. Move the stop-loss higher to ₹305 as soon as SBI goes up to ₹309. Book profits at ₹318.
