Santosh Meena, Sr. Analyst, TradingBells told Zee Business Online, ''Yes Bank has rallied 171% from the low of Rs 29 which was made on the 1st of  October month, it was the last day of selling of pledged shares. It rallied about 27% in today's trading session after news that it receives interest from strong global players for equity infusion which is a major requirement for the bank. Technically, 79-81 is a critical resistance zone which is also near the previous QIP price of 87, therefore, it is difficult to see further upside from here in the near term and it will post its Q2 results tomorrow which may cause some selling pressure. In the short term, investors should avoid any long position at the current level while a correction in the 60-55 zone will be a better opportunity to take a risk as a long term bet.''

YES Bank share has now recovered more than 150 per cent from its 52-week low of Rs 29.05, hit on October 1. The lender has been trying to raise capital to fight off the liquidity issues. It had earlier said it received strong interest from multiple foreign as well as domestic private equity and strategic investors for the capital raise and remains firmly on course to raising growth capital subject to necessary approvals.

YES Bank has been witnessing a huge setback on the Dalal Street, losing value by over 60 per cent this year and around 80 percent in the last year. Notably, Rana Kapoor had to quit as the CEO and MD of YES Bank on the orders of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), which cited 'serious lapses' in governance and 'poor compliance. Meanwhile, in case, the deal takes place as per reports, the year will become an important mark in the banking industry.
