ICICI Bank
Current Price: Rs 900
Target Price: Rs 920
The stock has cleared resistance at 880 very smoothly and jumped back till the psychologically important level of 900. It has a potential target of 915-920 and could attain this level in the next 2 sessions. The danger is a lack of support on the downside. Keep a stop at 890 and go long. Beyond the 905-mark increase the long position. Start booking profits beyond 915.
