From monthly chart we can see that ICICIBANK fall should halt in the worst case @1090-1100 and if that is breached it can head towards 1048 for a gap filling move.

How to trade ICICIBANK next week?
If 1130 is crossed and held one can try aggressive long with a SL@1120 targeting 1139-1148 (80% rule)

If this turns out to be a deeper correction then positional shorts can be taken with SL @1140-1145.



Its a tricky market to trade because we seem to be range bound and not breaking on either side. So positional calls are tough to take. Only being nimble footed and ‘long once important resistances are crossed’ or ‘short when important supports are broken’ & taking quick profits — seems to be the way to go.
