Punjab National Bank (PNB) stock presents an interesting short-term trading opportunity with nearly 10% upside to the current market price, according to SEBI-registered analyst Kapil Aggarwal.
Traders could enter long positions at current levels of ₹102.7, with a target price of ₹112, the recent swing high, Aggarwal suggested. He placed a stop loss at ₹101.8.
On the daily charts, the stock came off its 200-day moving average, a level typically regarded as a key support zone.
The recent price correction appears to follow a common a-b-c three-wave pattern, he noted, adding that this setup supports their broader long bias on the stock. In this case, the a=c scenario indicates that the correction could be over, and the stock could continue its upward move.
At the time of writing, PNB shares were trading 2.7% higher.
Data on Stocktwits shows the retail sentiment on Stocktwits remained ‘bullish’.
