After a sharp fall, in the current week the benchmark indices opened with a gap and post strong opening the index was hovering in the range of 16450-16600. However, on Tuesday in the late afternoon, it finally cleared the resistance of 16590 and succeeded to close above the same which is broadly positive for the market.
Technically, the texture of the pullback rally indicates that the market is likely to consolidate between 16500 to 16720 price ranges. In addition, on the intraday chart, the index has formed higher bottom formation which suggests further uptrend from current levels. We are of the view that, as long as the index is trading above 10 day SMA or 16500 uptrend wave likely to continue up to 16700-16750. On the flip side, below 16500 uptrend would be vulnerable. Sector specific, so far current rally largely dominated by IT, FMCG and financial stocks. The formation suggests large cap FMCG and financial stocks would likely to outperform in the near term. So any short term corrections should be used to add quality FMCG and Financial stocks with the medium term time horizon.

From the last couple of months the stock is witnessing price correction, currently, the stock is trading near 200 day SMA. The oversold texture suggests high chances of pullback rally from current levels. We are of the view that, 200 day SMA would act as a key support zone and strong pullback rally is not ruled out if it succeeds to trade above Rs. 3640 level.
State Bank of India (SBI)
