A recent analysis by Nilesh Jain, Head of Derivatives and Technical Research at Centrum Broking, offers crucial insights into the trading strategies for Union Bank of India and IDBI Bank shares. Jain shared his perspectives on Business Today Television's 'Daily Calls', outlining important levels for investors to monitor.
Market Context and Nifty50 Outlook
Jain noted that the benchmark Nifty50 experienced a short-covering rally, with potential to climb towards the 23,700-23,800 range in the near term. He highlighted 23,835 as a critical level, stating that a decisive breakout above it could propel Nifty towards the 24,000 mark. Furthermore, the India VIX, often referred to as the 'fear index', has dropped below the 19 level. Jain suggested that if VIX sustains below 19, it would provide additional comfort to bullish sentiment, supporting further upward momentum in the broader market.
Union Bank of India: Potential Upside
For Union Bank of India, which recently settled at Rs 164.80 after a 1.48 percent gain, Jain identified a key support level around Rs 157. He advised investors to maintain a stop loss at this level, expressing optimism for the stock's future. "Stay put. I think the worst is behind. It looks like it is forming a good base formation here," Jain commented. From a longer-term perspective, he sees potential for the stock to move towards Rs 190-200, provided it decisively breaks the Rs 170 level in the immediate term. The overall setup, he concluded, appears positive following a recent correction.
IDBI Bank: Range-Bound Movement Expected
IDBI Bank shares, which saw a marginal 0.27 percent increase to close at Rs 71.38, have recently undergone a sharp decline and currently lack a clear directional trend. "There's no clear trend as of now and I'm not expecting any major upside or downside," Jain stated. He anticipates the counter will likely oscillate within a broader range of Rs 65 to Rs 80, with these levels acting as respective support and resistance points.
