SBIN has witnessed profit taking from its previous swing high placed around 290 levels which also happened to be near its 4-month high . Thereafter, the stock entered profit booking mode and has slipped towards 255 levels in a span of around 10-12 trading sessions, correcting more than 10% from its highs . The stock has fallen from its 52- week highs of 351 .30 levels clocked on 26th October, 2017 . Since then, the stock has been continuously falling with minor pullbacks . The fall in the stock was arrested on 23rd March, 2018 when the stock made a low of 232 .35 levels and rallied sharply towards 265 levels in a matter of 11-12 trading sessions, gaining more than 14% from its lows . The stock again retested the lows of 232 .35 levels but did not breach the levels this time and bounced back again towards 260 levels . It has been observed from previous two occasions that whenever the stock trades around 235-240 levels value-based buying is witnessed in the counter which takes back the stock towards 260-265 levels . It can also be inferred that the short to medium term bottom in the stock has been placed around 232-233 levels, any breach below the said levels will give a fresh breakdown in the counter and the stock may further slide towards 200-mark . The overall long term chart structure of the stock is positive and looks good at current levels for long term investment . The stock being the premier Public Sector Bank in the country is one of the most sought after banking stocks when it comes to investing and this decline from the said highs gives investors an excellent opportunity to go long for potential upside of 285-315 in about a year or so . As far as the technical setup of this stock is concerned, the weekly and monthly charts indicate strong support around 230-240 zone below which the next levels to watch out for will be 190-200, where the stock has very strong support . Whereas on the upside, the immediate resistance zone is placed around 285-290 levels which will test the patience of investors . However, if the stock manages to cross and sustain above the mentioned immediate resistance zone, then a quick rally towards the next resistance zone of around 315-320 could be seen . Hence, we recommend long term investors to go long in the counter around the current levels, average in case of declines towards Rs . 235 and hold with a stop loss placed below 190 for the above mentioned target levels in the stipulated time frame .

DAAWAT: Technical View

LT FOODS has been in a secular decline for the past few weeks now and it has approached crucial support levels around Rs . 55- Rs . 58 . The stock is currently witnessing a little bit of demand around current levels and if this trend continues for a few days, then a possibility of the stock moving higher towards the Rs . 75- Rs . 80 mark over a time period of 8-12 months is higher . The overall chart structure indicates that it has witnessed a reasonable correction from higher levels which gives traders and investors an excellent opportunity to accumulate the stock at a lower price . The volumes during the decline too were not very significant and this gives us the comfort in recommending a long trade in the stock for the above mentioned time horizon . The RSI (29 .80) on weekly charts has just entered the oversold area around 30 and if the stock manages to hold onto current levels and then moves out after consolidating for a bit, then a steep rally towards the mentioned targets cannot be ruled out . Hence, we recommend smart investors to go long around current levels, average the stock on declines towards Rs . 50 for the above mentioned target levels of Rs . 75-80 in the stipulated time frame .
