SBI (₹277.4)
SBI gained momentum as it surged 4 per cent last week. Importantly, the rally in the past week has taken the stock decisively above the key ₹265-₹270 resistance zone. The stock is more likely to sustain above ₹270 in the near term. The 21-day moving average is on the verge of crossing the 100-day moving average. This is a positive indicator and it suggests that the downside in the short term could be limited for the stock. As such, dips to ₹270-₹265 may find fresh buying interest. A rise to ₹285 or ₹290 is likely in the near term. A strong break and a decisive weekly close above ₹290 will pave the way for a test of the medium-term target of ₹327. Medium-term investors can hold the long positions. Retain the stop-loss at ₹220 and revise it higher to ₹230 as soon as the stock moves up to ₹295. The short-term outlook will turn negative only if it declines below ₹265 decisively. Such a break can drag SBI lower to ₹255. But an immediate break below ₹265 is less likely.
