National Grid drops 1.36% to GBX 1,126

Highlights

NG trades at GBX 1,126.00, below its MA-20 and MA-50, with short- and medium-term selling pressure but supported by a long-term bullish structure above MA-200 at GBX 1,068.15.
Momentum indicators are mixed: daily MACD signals strong sell, RSI is modestly bullish at 53, and Stoch RSI and BBP show overbought conditions with recent seller dominance.
Over the next five trading days, NG is forecast to range between GBX 1,090 and GBX 1,145, with over 80% probability of sideways or bullish outcomes based on weekly technical indicators.

Mixed momentum and overbought signals underscore technical divergence

Momentum indicators for NG show a mixed technical picture: the MACD (D1) signals a strong sell, while the ADX is neutral at a low value, indicating weak trend strength. The RSI is modestly bullish at 53, but both the Stoch RSI and Bull/Bear Power suggest overbought conditions, with BBP highlighting strong recent seller dominance. The Awesome Oscillator is neutral. After a down gap at the open, the price is closer to the lower end of today’s GBX 1,122–1,132 range, with moderate intraday volatility and continued pressure. These developments line up with weakness in momentum, though overbought signals among oscillators create a clear divergence.

Range-bound scenario favored as bullish weekly signals stabilize outlook

Looking ahead to the next five trading days, NG is likely to trade within a volatility band of GBX 1,090 to GBX 1,145. The probability of a sideways or bullish outcome is high — over 80% — supported by consistently positive weekly signals from the RSI, MACD, and MA-50 on the W1 chart. Price consolidation within this corridor is the baseline scenario. A bullish move would reclaim resistance near GBX 1,143 and attempt a test of GBX 1,145, while a bearish break under GBX 1,122 could see a decline toward GBX 1,090, though strong long-term support remains intact.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees persistent short- and medium-term weakness in National Grid despite intact long-term support. He notes key technical resistance near GBX 1,143 and highlights mixed momentum, with overbought signals clashing against seller pressure. The analyst is cautious, expecting limited directionality unless current resistance levels are reclaimed. "Until we see NG holding above GBX 1,143, the base case remains sideways with downside risk toward GBX 1,090."

Last time, analysts noted that National Grid plc is consolidating just above short-term moving averages, with mixed momentum as the MACD signals selling pressure, while the RSI and CCI reflect mild bullishness, and resistance is defined by the MA-50 and Ichimoku Kijun. Support is seen near the MA-20 with the price likely to remain rangebound between key levels unless a decisive break above resistance or below support occurs in the coming sessions.
