IDFC First Bank share price – should you buy or sell?
According to Sugandha Sachdeva, Founder of SS WealthStreet, IDFC First Bank had been under sustained time-wise and price-wise correction since September 2023, after testing a high of ₹100.70 mark.
“A strong technical positive emerged with the formation of a double bottom pattern near the ₹52.50 level earlier this month, on both the daily and weekly charts which has triggered a sharp turnaround in sentiment. This classic bullish reversal pattern signaled a potential exhaustion of the prior downtrend. Triggered by the bullish patttern, the stock experienced a sharp rally, gaining over 31.50% in a short period to test a recent high of ₹69.08,” Sachdeva added.
She further explained that the rapid nature and magnitude of the recent rally suggest the stock may be due for a period of consolidation or profit-booking in the near term.
“A retracement towards ₹61, around 50% Fibonacci retracement of the recent rally from ₹52.46 to ₹69.08, appears likely. This zone is expected to act as a strong support, attracting fresh buying interest.
From a medium-term perspective, the broader trend remains bullish. Once consolidation plays out, the stock has the potential to resume its upward trajectory, with a target of ₹76 and then ₹90 eventually in the long term,” Sachdeva added.
