Analyst Highlights Best Exit Strategy for IRFC Stock
While the stock has experienced fluctuations and is slightly volatile, an ET Now analyst highlighted the future course of IRFC. The expert said,
“IRFC’s 200-EMA (exponential moving average) is around Rs 150, and we might see a bounce when it reaches this level. If, during that bounce, it fails to surpass Rs 180, then it will likely head downwards again. So, when the bounce occurs, if it doesn’t break past Rs 180, it’s best to exit. The major action in PSU stocks has already happened. Whether people are ready to accept this or not, will be evaluated later. However, if we look at the monthly and weekly charts, it’s clear that at this level, people are continuously selling off.”
