Univest’s analysts suggest treating this hdfc bank share price prediction for wednesday as a preparation note for Wednesday, 21 October 2026, rather than a signal that changes during the Dussehra holiday.
Analyst View for Wednesday
Kunal Singla suggests that the stock needs to reclaim 728.85, the previous close, to turn the tone constructive, with 707.15 the support to watch.
Ankit Jaiswal flags that India VIX rose 5.19 percent to 14.79, which signals more caution, so the stock’s range may stay wide on Wednesday.
This hdfc bank share price prediction for wednesday will be most useful when read alongside the support and resistance table above.
