Overbought momentum emerges as buyers push above resistance

On the technical side, NG continues to trade well above all significant moving averages, with the nearest key dynamic support set by the Ichimoku Kijun at GBX 1,148.50 and the MA-50 support at GBX 1,146.91. Resistance is now defined by the next round number, while momentum remains positive as MACD signals a buy and ADX shows a moderately strong trend. Oscillators—RSI at 66.66, Stochastic RSI at 95.87, CCI at 217.98, and Bull/Bear Power at 38.29—suggest the asset is deeply overbought on an intraday basis, with buyers dominating and the Awesome Oscillator reinforcing the bullish trend. The current price is near session highs with moderate volatility, indicating underlying strength, though the overbought readings highlight a divergence between technicals and buying pressure.

Sideways consolidation outlook as breakout risk persists at highs

For the coming week, NG is expected to stay within a typical volatility band between GBX 1,155.00 and GBX 1,195.00. The probability of further upward movement remains elevated at above 80%, making a significant decline less likely. Most scenarios point to sideways consolidation within this price range, but a sustained break and close above GBX 1,190.00 could lead to renewed highs. Conversely, a fall below support at GBX 1,148.50 would risk a deeper pullback.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees National Grid’s strong technical position but notes clear overbought conditions on multiple intraday indicators. He believes the company’s dividend policy adds some support but does not offset risks of a technical pullback. Momentum remains positive, yet sentiment appears stretched at current highs. "Until GBX 1,148.50 breaks, I remain cautious and will wait for confirmation before considering new entries."

Last time, analysts noted that National Grid plc is sustaining strong bullish momentum, trading well above all major moving averages with positive MACD readings and multiple oscillators in overbought territory. Dynamic support is identified near the Ichimoku Kijun and MA-50, while the ongoing uptrend is likely to persist unless critical supports are breached, as price consolidates just below resistance.
