On the downside, in Covid-19 fall, it has tested 150 which is 80 points down from the said range, which is approximately 67% of the range. Post breakout above Rs 350 it has tested Rs 427 last week which is again around 77 points up this is also around 65%. In short, as per the range breakout theory, both the side targets of 61.80% have been achieved.

On the weekly chart, SBI has created an ' Inverted hammer' in the second week of February and it has consistently shown profit booking so far. Whereas on a daily basis it has created a 'Head and Shoulder pattern' with a Neckline at Rs 384. The Neckline is broken and the gap is filled by the SBI.  Currently, SBI is showing strong support around 50 EMA on a daily basis.

SBI started its current rally from the bottom of 150 and managed to touch Rs 427. So, a Fibonacci retracement of 23.80% of the entire rally is around Rs 362. There is one small dip post initial bounce back at 175 and 23.80% retracement from there is at Rs 368. The last move of SBI started from 269.50, the 38.20% Fibonacci retracement is at Rs 367. The most expected target around Rs 365 level is already achieved by SBI.

So, now SBI should hold the base of Rs 360 – Rs 365 and resume the rally again. In case of failure to do the same one can see sell-off in the counter which may move towards Rs 340 Demand Zone.
