The stock has moved back above both the 21-day EMA (Rs 579.65) and 200-day EMA (Rs 576.07), improving the overall price structure. The DMI has also turned bullish, with +DI at 24.62 well above -DI at 14.69. ADX at 20.72 indicates that the directional trend is gradually picking up, while RSI at 57.59 leaves room for further momentum. The recent recovery and sustained move above the key moving averages indicate renewed buying interest. Holding above Rs 580 would keep the setup favourable and could take the stock towards its recent swing highs.Traders may consider entering long positions in the 605\u2013595 zone, with a target of 655.IRCTC: Buy between Rs 525\u2013515 | Stop Loss: Rs 492 | Target: Rs 565<\/span>The weekly chart is showing an interesting price pattern. The earlier major decline was around 42%, while the more recent decline stands at nearly 41%, creating an almost equal-length correction. Such symmetry makes the current price zone technically important and raises the possibility that the decline is nearing exhaustion. The weekly RSI is providing additional support to this view.While the stock has made a lower low, the RSI has formed a higher low, resulting in a bullish divergence. The RSI has also moved up from oversold territory, pointing towards a loss of downside momentum.The combination of the near equal-length decline and bullish RSI divergence makes the current zone an interesting reversal setup.Traders may consider entering long positions in the 525\u2013515 zone, with a target of 565.(Disclaimer: Recommendations and views on the stock market, or any other asset classes or personal finance management tips given by experts and analysts are their own.
