The stock of Axis Bank jumped 7.4 per cent, accompanied by extraordinary volume on Wednesday, decisively breaking above a key resistance band between ₹440 and ₹460. This rally provides investors an opportunity to buy the stock at current levels.

In late March, the stock had taken support at ₹285 following a sharp fall. Since then, the stock has been in a medium-term uptrend. Moreover, the short-term trend is also up. While trending up, the stock had decisively breached its 21- and 50-day moving averages and trades well above them.

The short-term outlook is bullish for the stock. It has potential to trend upwards extending the uptrend and reach the price targets of ₹500 and ₹510 in the ensuing trading sessions. Traders with a short-term view can buy the stock with a stop-loss at ₹467 levels. (Note: The recommendations are based on technical analysis. There is a risk of loss in trading.)
