Should You Buy Yes Bank Stock?

Yes Bank shares are facing resistance at ₹18, and it has made a strong base at ₹15 apiece, said Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking.

“A bullish or bearish trend can be assumed on the breakage of either side of the range. Once the Yes Bank share price closes above ₹18, we may expect the banking stock to touch ₹20 soon and ₹21 apiece. So, Yes Bank shareholders are advised to hold the scrip, maintaining a stop loss of ₹16. Fresh investors can also buy Yes Bank shares at the current market price for the near-term targets of ₹20 and ₹21. However, they must maintain a stop loss at ₹16 while taking any fresh position on the counter,” advised Bagadia.
