Some buzzing stocks namely YES Bank Ltd, ITC Ltd and Adani Power Ltd are likely to remain under the spotlight of traders for the session today. Here is what Avdhut Bagkar, Derivatives & Technical Analyst at StoxBox has to say on these stocks ahead of Friday's trading session:
YES Bank | Range-bound | Resistance: Rs 28-30 | Support: Rs 22
Shares of YES Bank must cross the hurdle of Rs 24.50, its 100-day moving average (DMA), to embark on the new journey. When that happens, a breakout should see the price action moving towards Rs 28 and Rs 30 levels. On the downside, Rs 22-mark, its 200-DMA continues to provide support for a short-to-medium term perspective. The present bias signals a sideways trend and any move on either side could trigger fresh rally in the counter.
Adani Power | Cautious | Resistance: Rs 780 | Support: Rs 675
The present trend appears sluggish, with price denoting weakness seemingly heading to Rs 675, its immediate support level. To build a positive sentiment, the price action must surpass Rs 780-mark, with an aggressive structure to rally further.
ITC | Range-bound | Resistance: Rs 445-500 | Support: Rs 400
ITC shares are battling around the 200-DMA placed at Rs 426 since April of this year. On the upside, the price must surpass Rs 445 level to break-out towards the Rs 500 mark. While the immediate support emerges at Rs 400 level, the price must display an accumulative stance to hold the optimistic sentiment.
