- Summary:
- Yes Bank share price stabilised on Friday after overcoming a losing streak that sandwiched a quarterly earnings release.
Yes Bank share price rose further on Friday, gaining 1.4 percent in the intraday session to trade at Rs 24.97. The move solidifies Thursday’s gain, which snapped a six-session losing streak amidst a spike in quarterly earnings. Despite its impressive profit report, which saw a 47 percent jump for the quarter ended June, many analysts have maintained a “sell” rating on Yes Bank shares on account of an overall weakness in the bottom line.
Brokerage firm Kotak Institutional Equities, Nomura and ICIC Securities have highlighted the bank’s Net Interest Margins (NIMs) and Return On Assets (RoA) as significantly behind its peers, which could compromise its competitiveness and add to the pressure on the lender. Also, there’s the question of an unclear path to a potential takeover, which has created a degree of Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt (FUD) sentiment around the stock.
Yes Bank Share Price Momentum
Despite its strong show on the daily chart, the 2-hour chart shows that Yes Bank share price could still struggle to maintain the upside momentum. The price is below the middle line on the Bollinger Bands indicator, and faces resistance just above the Rs 25.00 mark.
Also, the Relative Strength Index indicator is at 45, signaling that the sellers are currently in control. A move above the Rs. 25.00 psychological barrier could be critical to strengthening the momentum towards the upward trajectory.
Resistance and support levels
The upside will likely continue if Yes Bank share price manages to stay above the Rs 24.84 pivot mark. The momentum could encounter resistance at Rs 25.00, but sustained control by the buyers at that point will break the barrier and potentially trigger further advances to test Rs 25.15. On the other hand, a move below 24.84 will favour the sellers to take control. In that case, the first support will likely be at Rs 24.65, but extended control by the buyers could breach that mark and invalidate the upside narrative. Also, that could result in a stronger downward momentum to test Rs 24.50.
