Idacorp Stock Forecast

Buy or Hold candidate since Jul 07, 2026 Loss -6.42%

The IDACORP Inc stock price fell by -1.73% on the last day (Thursday, 30th Jul 2026) from $144.40 to $141.90. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 3.41% from a day low at $141.52 to a day high of $146.35. The price has fallen in 7 of the last 10 days and is down by -6.09% for this period. Volume fell on the last day along with the stock, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the stock. On the last day, the trading volume fell by -108 thousand shares and in total, 308 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $43.68 million.

The stock lies in the lower part of a wide and weak rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $140.76 is broken, it will firstly indicate a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning for a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 5.76% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $148.87 and $166.27 at the end of this 3-month period.

IDA Signals & Forecast

There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The IDACORP Inc stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $147.09 and $147.63. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, July 02, 2026, and so far it has fallen -8.19%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for IDACORP Inc stock

Trading Expectations (IDA) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 31st

For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 31st we expect IDACORP Inc to open at $143.26, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $140.32 and $143.48, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$3.15 (+/-2.25%) up or down from last closing price. If IDACORP Inc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.25% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $141.95 (0.04%) than the support at $141.60 (0.21%), 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.
