F&O Radar: Call Ratio Spread strategy for SBI shares this week

State Bank of India (SBI) shares have been trading in a sideways range but recently broke out to the upside with strong volume. This technical move suggests the stock is gaining momentum and holding above key moving averages, which often signals a continuation of the uptrend.

Choice Broking has suggested a specific derivative strategy known as a Call Ratio Spread. This involves buying call options while simultaneously selling a higher number of out-of-the-money call options. The goal is to profit from the stock moving up to a target price, while the extra sold options help reduce the overall cost of the trade.

Investors should monitor the stock's ability to sustain its breakout above the Rs 1,100 mark. If the price moves towards the suggested upside levels, the strategy could generate returns. However, if the stock fails to hold this support, the trade may face challenges. It is important to understand the risk-reward profile of this strategy before executing it.
