Chart Check: Down 50% from highs, this IT service firm is showing signs of revival

Firstsource Solutions, part of the IT services industry, is down by over 50 per cent from its July 2021 highs but recent price action suggests that bulls are trying to take control, suggest experts.

The stock hit a 52-week high of Rs 228.90 on 23 July 2021, but it failed to hold on to the momentum. It closed at Rs 110.90 on 20 July 2022 which translates into a fall of over 50 per cent.

The momentum helped the stock to close above the 50-DMA on 20 July for the first time since April 2022 which is a positive sign for the bulls.

Short-term traders can look at buying the stock now or on dips for a possible target closer to Rs 120-124 in next 3-4 weeks, suggest experts.

On the price front, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is placed at 60.3. RSI below 30 is considered oversold and above 70 is considered overbought, Trendlyne data showed. MACD is above its center and signal line, this is a bullish indicator.
