- Major weekly indicators (RSI-W1, MACD-W1, MA-50-W1) imply an 80% probability of a price increase, with a projected five-day range of GBX 1,120–1,150.

Mixed momentum as daily signals contrast with firm technical levels
Momentum signals are mixed for NG on the daily timeframe: the MACD shows strong bearish momentum, while the ADX indicates a weak and trendless market. The RSI is neutral at 51, Stoch RSI is also neutral, and the CCI sits near the baseline, reflecting a lack of clear overbought or oversold conditions. The Bull/Bear Power indicates overbought status and continued buyer dominance, with prices trading near the middle of today's range (GBX 1,135.00 – 1,140.00) and low intraday volatility. Key technical levels include short-term support at the Ichimoku kijun (GBX 1,136.50), primary resistance at the MA-50 (GBX 1,143.68), and robust long-term structure above the MA-200.
Sideways bias as bullish probability drives short-term scenario
Over the next five trading days, NG is forecast to remain within a typical volatility band between GBX 1,120 and GBX 1,150. There is a high probability (80%) of a price increase, with weekly momentum and trend indicators signaling ongoing strength. The baseline scenario suggests a sideways movement between support at GBX 1,136.50 and resistance at GBX 1,143.68, with a bullish case targeting GBX 1,150 and a bearish scenario possible only if the price breaks below the Ichimoku kijun toward GBX 1,120.
Previously it was reported that National Grid plc is consolidating just above key short-term averages and well-supported by long-term moving averages, with immediate resistance near the 50-day level and dynamic support from the Ichimoku Kijun. Momentum indicators deliver mixed signals—MACD issues a strong sell while RSI and Stoch RSI suggest mild bullishness—yet the overall trend and weekly signals imply a higher likelihood of upward movement, provided key support around 1,135 holds.
