According to Aditya Thukral, founder and analyst at AT Research and Risk Managers, IFCI stock has violated the uptrend by breaking the higher low. Thukral highlighted that the stock price has created a fresh resistance zone of ₹74 to ₹80, with a negative crossover among EMAs making the short-term trend negative. As reported by Thukral, "Any bounce in the stock prices towards the resistance zone is an exit opportunity. If the stock prices continue to stay above ₹80 for some days, then only then could the trend change; however, the chances for that to happen remain thin." The analyst emphasized that the stock started its short-term downtrend, with every rise towards the resistance area presenting exit opportunities for buyers.
