The long-term outlook for YES Bank (₹1,488) remains positive. However, in the short term, the stock may come under pressure. YES Bank finds immediate support at ₹1,460 and a close below that level will weaken it towards ₹1,328. Only a close below ₹1,124 will alter the long-term positive view. To reconfirm the positive outlook, the stock has to close above ₹1,563.
F&O pointers : The counter added 17.57 lakh shares amidst falling share price. This indicates heavy accumulation of short positions.
However, the YES Bank May futures maintains a good 5-point premium over the underlying. Option trading indicates that the stock could move in the ₹1,400-₹1,600 range.
The profit potentials are huge if YES Bank stays or moves up immediately and falls in June.
Hold the position till the second week of June. Traders should mind that the stock will be volatile in the near term.
