Post-demerger cash strategy shifts as share structure consolidates

Unilever has completed the demerger of its ice cream business, The Magnum Ice Cream Company, which now trades independently in Amsterdam, London, and New York. Following this, the company consolidated its share structure, reducing total ordinary shares and clarifying voting rights. Unilever also announced plans to allocate around €1.5 billion annually to mergers and acquisitions with a focus on the United States and left open the possibility of further share buybacks, alongside an update to its dividend reporting.

Support holds above Kijun as overbought signals temper uptrend

A distinct bullish trend is confirmed by ULVR's sustained position above major moving averages (MA-20, MA-50, MA-200) and above the Ichimoku Kijun level (4,654.69), setting dynamic support near Kijun. The nearest resistance lies at recent highs or near the psychological barrier at 4,850. Momentum signals are mixed, with MACD and ADX at neutral on both daily and weekly charts, indicating a consolidation phase after gains. Oscillators point toward overbought conditions (RSI at 70.53, Stoch RSI, and CCI overbought), signaling possible short-term buying exhaustion, while Bull/Bear Power remains strongly positive and the Awesome Oscillator continues to support the current uptrend.

Upside bias prevails as volatility band limits downside

For the next five trading days, ULVR is likely to move within a typical volatility band between 4,770 and 4,870, anchored around current levels. The likelihood of further gains is strong (80%), with immediate downside risk limited. The baseline scenario is for sideways movement and consolidation following recent buyer strength. In the bullish case, a decisive move above 4,850 could prompt a test of 4,900, while a drop below 4,770 may open the door to a retracement toward dynamic supports near the Kijun or MA-50.

Anton Kharitonov, Traders Union analyst, sees Unilever PLC maintaining a technically bullish stance, with price still above all major moving averages. However, he notes signs of short-term exhaustion, given overbought oscillator readings and mixed momentum indicators. Structural moves such as the ice cream demerger and renewed M&A focus provide longer-term market clarity, but do not remove near-term consolidation risk. "Base scenario is sideways within 4,770–4,870, and until a firm break above 4,850 or below 4,770, I remain cautious on fresh positions."

Last time, analysts noted Unilever was trading well above its short-, medium-, and long-term moving averages, signaling strong short-term momentum as buyers drove the price into overbought territory. Momentum indicators such as a bearish MACD and neutral ADX suggested possible near-term consolidation while support was seen near recent averages, with a strong post-open buying and high volatility raising the risk of profit-taking around resistance levels.
