Canara Bank Gives Trendline Breakdown

On Tuesday, Nifty PSU Bank was the worst-performing sectoral index. It has given a fresh breakdown on a daily scale and formed a sizable bearish candle. Every constituent of the index closed in the red, reflecting broad weakness. The index has been notably underperforming the frontline indices over the past few months.

The stock of Canara Bank has given a horizontal trendline breakdown on a daily scale. This breakdown was confirmed by relatively higher volume and it has formed a sizable bearish candle on breakdown day, which is a bearish sign.

Currently, the stock is trading below its short and long-term moving averages. These averages have started edging lower, which is a bearish sign. Further, the momentum indicators and oscillators are also suggesting bearish momentum. The daily RSI has also given a horizontal trendline breakdown.

The derivative data aligns with the overall bearish chart structure. There is a notable concentration of call open interest at the 100 strike, followed by the 105 strike. While significant open interest on the put side is observed at the 95 strike. Talking about option chains, from 104 to 92 strikes, calls have witnessed call writing. While, on the put side, 97 to 86 strikes have witnessed put buying. This clearly indicates bearish momentum in the stock.

Hence, we recommend selling the stock in the zone of Rs 96-97 with a stop loss of Rs 100.50 level. On the downside, it is likely to test the level of Rs 90, followed by Rs 86 in the short term.
