National Grid up 0.39% at GBX 1,145.50

Highlights

National Grid (NG) trades at GBX 1,145.50, above MA-20, MA-50, and MA-200, signaling sustained bullish momentum with key support at the Ichimoku Kijun (GBX 1,131.68).
Despite the MACD showing 'Strong Sell' and oscillators indicating overbought conditions, daily RSI remains mildly bullish at 52.81, and today's price gained 0.39%.
Probability of further price increase exceeds 80% for the next five days, with anticipated range GBX 1,155.50 to GBX 1,162.16 based on weekly trend indicators.

Mixed momentum and overbought signals as resistance approaches

Technically, dynamic support is outlined by the Ichimoku Kijun at GBX 1,131.68, while resistance is set at the MA-50 or the next round level near GBX 1,150. Momentum signals on the daily timeframe are mixed — the MACD shows a strong sell, the ADX is neutral, the RSI (52.81) signals a buy, but Stochastic RSI and Bull/Bear Power highlight overbought conditions with strong buyer dominance. The Awesome Oscillator is neutral, confirming the lack of trend conviction. Today, price action was steady near the upper end of the day's range (GBX 1,136.50 – 1,143.00), with low intraday volatility and buyers in control.

Limited upside risk as consolidation likely within weekly uptrend

For the next five trading days, the expected range is GBX 1,155.50 to GBX 1,162.16, aligned with typical volatility for a blue-chip like NG and within 2% of current levels. Trend indicators on the weekly chart all point to buy or strong buy, implying over an 80% probability of further upside, while the likelihood of a notable decline remains low. In the base scenario, price is expected to consolidate in a tight corridor supported by the Ichimoku Kijun. Should the quote break above the MA-50 and the GBX 1,150 level, the road toward the weekly high target opens; however, if support at the Kijun fails, a short correction may test GBX 1,130.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, Traders Union expert, sees National Grid holding its bullish posture. He notes that price action remains constructive, with technical supports firm and trend signals strong across multiple timeframes. Despite some mixed momentum signals, the tight consolidation and lack of significant news favor stability. Karapetjanc believes the odds of further upside remain high as long as support at the Ichimoku Kijun holds. "The current setup suggests buyers remain in control, and I expect continued resilience towards the GBX 1,155.50 — 1,162.16 range in the coming days."

Last time, analysts noted that National Grid plc was trading just above its 20-day moving average and near key support at the Ichimoku Kijun, with momentum indicators mixed as MACD showed bearishness while RSI and other oscillators remained neutral to slightly bullish. The stock was expected to maintain a sideways to slightly higher trajectory within a defined range, with support from long-term moving averages and resistance at the 50-day average.
