He further said that the stock is still looking strong on the technical charts and all its targets remain same. He said that the SBI shares have strong support at levels around Rs 340.

Jain said that the stock is placed well on the charts and is poised to see an upward movement from here. 

The current correction is a buying opportunity for those who want to take a long position on this stock.  

For new investors, his strategy is to buy this stock at current levels. He puts the stop loss at Rs 340. Long term investors can hold onto this stock.   

 SBI stock has been seeing correction over the last 5 trading sessions, making investors jittery.   

The positional medium term view on this stock is also “good” Jain said. The trend for investors is positive he said.
