5 January: New 52-Week High Amidst Volatile Trading
On 5 January 2026, IDBI Bank Ltd. reached a significant milestone by touching a new 52-week high of Rs.118.45 intraday. This peak was supported by robust trading volumes, with over 2.1 crore shares exchanging hands, translating to a traded value of approximately ₹240 crores. The stock opened at Rs.115.46 and initially gained 3.18% from the previous close of Rs.114.73, reflecting strong investor interest and institutional participation.
However, the session was marked by notable volatility. After reaching the high, the stock retraced sharply to an intraday low of Rs.110.75 before closing at Rs.112.53, down 2.22% on the day. The weighted average price suggested that a larger volume of shares traded near the day's low, indicating selling pressure and profit-booking despite the initial bullish momentum. This intraday reversal resulted in the stock underperforming both its sector and the Sensex, which declined marginally by 0.15%.
Technically, the stock remained above all key moving averages — 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day — signalling sustained medium to long-term strength. The surge in delivery volumes to 3.33 crore shares on 2 January, a 762.06% increase over the five-day average, further highlighted strong accumulation by investors in the preceding days.

6 to 9 January: Continued Downtrend Amid Market Weakness
Following the volatile start, IDBI Bank’s stock price continued to decline throughout the week. On 6 January, the stock fell 2.39% to Rs.108.20, with volume dropping to 8.77 lakh shares, while the Sensex also declined by 0.19%. The next day, 7 January, saw a marginal decrease of 0.05% to Rs.108.15, with the Sensex gaining a slight 0.03%, indicating relative stability in the broader market despite the stock’s weakness.
On 8 January, the stock experienced a sharper fall of 3.33%, closing at Rs.104.55, coinciding with a significant Sensex drop of 1.41%. The volume increased to 15.07 lakh shares, reflecting renewed selling pressure. The week concluded on 9 January with a further decline of 1.05% to Rs.103.45, as the Sensex fell 0.89%. The total traded volume on the final day was 5.78 lakh shares, indicating moderate liquidity.
This sustained downtrend resulted in a weekly loss of 9.93%, markedly underperforming the Sensex’s 2.62% decline. The stock’s retreat from its 52-week high and the persistent volume patterns suggest profit-taking and cautious sentiment amid broader market volatility.

Key Takeaways
Strong Early Momentum but Profit Booking: The stock’s new 52-week high of Rs.118.45 on 5 January demonstrated robust investor interest and technical strength. However, the subsequent sharp intraday reversal and sustained weekly decline indicate profit-taking pressures and short-term caution among traders.
Exceptional Volume and Institutional Activity: The week’s trading volumes, particularly on 5 January, were significantly elevated, with delivery volumes surging over 700% compared to averages. This suggests strong accumulation by long-term investors despite short-term price weakness.
Underperformance Relative to Sensex: IDBI Bank’s 9.93% weekly decline substantially outpaced the Sensex’s 2.62% fall, reflecting stock-specific factors influencing price action beyond broader market trends.
Technical Positioning Remains Positive: Despite the pullback, the stock continues to trade above all major moving averages, signalling that medium to long-term bullish momentum remains intact, though near-term volatility is likely to persist.
Conclusion
IDBI Bank Ltd.’s week was marked by a sharp reversal from a new 52-week high to a nearly 10% weekly loss, underscoring a complex interplay of strong institutional interest, profit-booking, and broader market weakness. The exceptional volume surge early in the week highlights underlying investor conviction, while the sustained price decline signals caution amid volatile market conditions. The stock’s technical indicators remain supportive of a positive medium-term outlook, but the recent price action suggests that investors should closely monitor volume and price trends for signs of stabilisation or further correction. Overall, IDBI Bank’s performance this week reflects the nuanced dynamics of a mid-cap private sector bank navigating a challenging market environment.
