The stock price was trading at Rs 204.30, up Rs 1.60, or 0.79 percent. It has touched an intraday high of Rs 206.20 and an intraday low of Rs 203.70.
Ashish Chaturmohta, Head of Technical and Derivatives, Sanctum Wealth Management is of the view that State Bank of India needs to cross and sustain above Rs 210 levels for any strength to emerge. In that case, the counter can move towards Rs 240-245.
If the stock trades below Rs 200, we expect weakness to continue. It can then test Rs 180 and then Rs 170 levels, he added.
