PSU banking space has been buzzing of late and some of such smaller names are having a catch-up rally to their larger peers. In the last couple of sessions, this stock has literally zoomed up on the hopes of privatization.
Technically speaking, we can see a huge breakout in prices with humongous volumes. Thus, it certainly looks encouraging and has the potential to continue this move towards 25 – 27 over the next few days.
However, considering the risk-reward aspect, it’s not advisable to make a fresh entry, rather one should stay put on existing positions by trailing a strict stop loss below 20.
This stock has been one of the worst-performing PSU banks over the years. However, all of a sudden we can see some life in this stock after the government shortlisting this bank too for privatization.
If we purely look at the chart structure, we can see a consolidation breakout with significantly higher volumes and hence, can be seen as a candidate for slightly longer targets.
But, as we all know how deceptive such stocks can be and hence, we would keep a close eye on them at regular intervals. As of now, the stock looks poised for a move towards 19 – 22 and momentum traders can look to lighten up positions in the rally.
This has been one of the traders’ favourite counters once, but has lost its charm over the past 4 years now. After a long time, the stock has come into the limelight and the reason is the same as mentioned in the other two counters.
Looking at the weekly and monthly time frame charts, we expect the stock to head towards 110, where one should ideally be reassessing the situation. We maintain a hold with a strict stop loss below 70.
