Idacorp Stock Forecast

Buy or Hold candidate since Jul 07, 2026 Loss -0.65%

The IDACORP Inc stock price gained 1.79% on the last trading day (Friday, 10th Jul 2026), rising from $148.00 to $150.65. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.89% from a day low at $148.00 to a day high of $150.80. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days but is still up by 0.7% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -86 thousand shares and in total, 315 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $47.50 million. You should take into consideration that falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes over the next couple of days.

The stock is moving within a wide and horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect IDACORP Inc stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $138.72 and $157.60 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and stocks seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. Stocks turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.

IDA Signals & Forecast

The IDACORP Inc stock holds a sell signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, there is a buy signal from the long-term average. Since the short-term average is above the long-term average there is a general buy signal in the stock giving a positive forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the short-term Moving Average at approximately $150.75. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $144.34. A break-up through the short-term average will send a buy signal, whereas a breakdown through the long-term average will send a sell signal. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Thursday, July 09, 2026, and so far it has risen 1.79%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell during the last trading day despite gaining prices. This causes a divergence between volume and price and it may be an early warning. The stock should be watched closely.

Trading Expectations (IDA) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 13th

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 13th we expect IDACORP Inc to open at $149.82, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $149.23 and $152.07, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$2.84 (+/-1.90%) up or down from last closing price. If IDACORP Inc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 1.90% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $151.30 (0.43%) than the support at $149.61 (0.69%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.
