Share buyback and sector rebound accelerate upward momentum

Rolls-Royce is being driven higher by a large share buyback program launched on January 5, which targets up to 10% of its share capital, or around 850.5 million shares. Additional support comes from the company's operational rebound in the civil and defense aerospace divisions, with ongoing benefits from the post-pandemic travel recovery and increased defense spending. The group has also announced a partnership with Turkish Technic to build a new engine maintenance center, boosting its service capabilities.

Buyer strength confirmed as technical signals remain bullish

Momentum indicators reinforce the bullish outlook, with both MACD and ADX on the daily chart showing continued buying strength. RSI is elevated but not overbought at 67.97, the Stochastic RSI remains neutral, and CCI signals ongoing positive sentiment. Bull/Bear Power confirms buyer dominance, as overbought readings persist on several timeframes. The closest dynamic support is at the Ichimoku Kijun at GBX 1,196.55, with resistance at the MA-50 and psychological level near GBX 1,300.

Limited downside risk as rangebound outlook favors further gains

For the coming week, the typical volatility band is expected between GBX 1,285 and GBX 1,330. There is a strong probability of continued upward movement, supported by the bullish readings across RSI, ADX, MACD, and all weekly moving averages. The baseline scenario is for sideways trading within this range, while a push above GBX 1,300 could see a test of recent weekly highs. Downside risk is limited unless the price breaks below the Ichimoku Kijun at GBX 1,196, which currently appears unlikely.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, Senior Expert at Traders Union, sees Rolls-Royce in a strong position. He believes the buyback program and sector recovery are providing solid fundamental backing. Sentiment and momentum indicators align with this view. Tactical risks remain limited above the key Ichimoku Kijun support. "I expect Rolls-Royce to maintain its bullish course as long as the macro environment stays favorable and the buyback continues to support demand."

Previously it was reported that Rolls-Royce Holdings plc is maintaining a robust bullish trend, supported by a strong position above major moving averages and reinforced by technical momentum from indicators such as MACD and ADX. However, with momentum indicators signaling an overbought condition and the price approaching resistance, short-term consolidation or a corrective pullback is possible despite the prevailing upward bias.
