With that timeline and target, go long with a stop-loss at Rs 141. Beyond Rs 147, increase the position. Start booking profits above Rs 151.

Current level: 9,489
Target price: 9,650

The July future was settled at a considerable premium to the spot (9,464). The financial index has bounced after several weak sessions. However, it is not quite clear whether the downtrend is over or if this is a temporary respite. But the formation looks promising and a move above 9,500 would signal a new uptrend. Keep a stop at 9,425 and go long. Increase the position above 9,525. On the upside, a target of 9,650 is possible.

The target price and projected movements given above are in terms of the next one trading session unless otherwise stated
