On the technical front, support on the counter could be seen at Rs 1,520. And, resistance may be found at Rs 1,560. A decisive close above the said resistance level is required for a further upside move.
Osho Krishan, Senior Research Analyst – Technical & Derivatives at Angel One, said, “The stock has seen a strong resurgence from Rs 1,400 level. The recent structure construes healthy developments. Although, some correction or profit booking should not be ruled out. Overall, the counter seems poised to continue its upward march in a gradual manner with in-between blips. On an immediate basis, strong support is placed around Rs 1,540-1,500. While on the higher end, the Rs 1,600-1,660 zone remains a daunting task for the time being.”
Shiju Koothupalakkal, Technical Research Analyst at Prabhudas Lilladher, said, “HDFC Bank has witnessed some resistance at Rs 1,557. The said level needs to be breached decisively for confirmation of a further rise in the coming days with next targets of Rs 1,590 and Rs 1,640 levels. Near-term support is maintained at Rs 1,475. Chances of some consolidation or perhaps a small correction can’t be ruled out.”
Ravi Singh, Senior Vice-President (Retail Research) at Religare Broking, said, “One can consider buying the stock around Rs 1,540 level for a target of Rs 1,650. Keep stop loss placed at Rs 1,520.”
Jigar S Patel, Senior Manager – Technical Research Analyst at Anand Rathi Shares and Stock Brokers, said, “Support will be at Rs 1,520 and resistance at Rs 1,560. A decisive close above the Rs 1,560 level may trigger a further upside till Rs 1,600. The expected trading range will be between Rs 1,500 and Rs 1,600 for a month.”
