Punjab National Bank (PNB) is one of the biggest underperforming stocks of the decade from the PSU Bank Index.
The stock is trading at a 20-year old level after hitting the high of 167 in 2010.
Will investors ever make profits in this laggard PSB?
Investors hate stocks where they are unable to make profits and PNB is one such stock.
However, this time, the stock may surprise investors.
Technically, the stock falling with lower volumes, which usually marks the bottom.
In the recent fall from 48 to 28 since October 2021, volumes decreased. This is what convinced me to share the chart with you.
During the rally in 2021, volumes witnessed an uptick. The smart buyers are still holding the stock during the fall.
The demand zone created between 26-28 during the pandemic was held by bulls in the recent fall.
The bullish divergence on the weekly RSI, signals a reversal is on the cards.
If we witness an increase in volumes over the next few weeks, the stock of PNB may form a long-term bottom between 25 and 30.
At present, PNB is trading is trading close to its 52-week low of Rs 28. In the past one year, it has fallen 30%.
