HDFC Bank continues to hold support at 720-723 even though the MACD remains bearish - rally or bull trap?
The last few days saw HDFCBank make an appearance on my radar today after having reversed from the ₹722 support level region by around 3%, reaching ₹723.
Levels to watch: support in the ₹708-722 range (I get different values based on how I do the calculation: historical S/R or recent price action), resistance first around ₹745 and second at ₹752. RSI is at 32.9, not oversold just yet, but on its way, while Stochastic is deep in the oversold zone (at K=2.8). Bounce opportunity is there.
However, the thing that is worrying me MACD still quite clearly bearish (both line and signal in the red and histogram not changing course yet), and Sharpe ratio of this one quite bad. At the same time, sentiment of the latest news coverage is quite positively charged (I went through the ~15 latest articles and found all of them positive).
However, risk-to-reward in the case of the first resistance against the support is around 1:1.5, which does not seem very attractive as an entry point.
Current holders of HDFCBank, do you read it as accumulation at the support level, or do you have any reservations owing to the bearish MACD?
