Highlights

NG/GBX maintains a bullish structure across short, medium, and long-term timeframes, trading above key moving averages.
Despite the bullish bias, internal momentum signals are mixed, with oscillators indicating overbought conditions and some loss of trend strength.
Expected price action remains within a GBX1,196.24 to GBX1,225.76 range, with moderate volatility and a marginally higher probability of consolidation or limited upside.

Mixed signals emerge as overbought oscillators clash with neutral momentum

On the technical front, the price of NG is trading above the MA-20 and MA-50 on the H1 chart, as well as above the daily MA-200. The Ichimoku Kijun sits at GBX1,197.50, establishing a prominent support level. Momentum indicators offer mixed signals: MACD remains neutral and ADX issues a sell indication, while RSI is at a bullish 60.83. Both the Stoch RSI and CCI register overbought conditions, and BBP confirms that buyers hold the upper hand intraday. Active price dynamics are paired with moderate volatility, though oscillators suggest overbought pressure and there is internal divergence as MACD and AO are not fully supporting a bullish momentum environment.

Directional breakout risks rise as consolidation range tightens

In the short term, the price is expected to consolidate within the GBX1,196.24 to GBX1,225.76 range, representing a typical volatility band relative to current levels. The probability of an upward move is slightly higher at 52%, with a 48% chance of retracement. A break above the defined resistance could signal a bullish extension, while a move below support may trigger a bearish scenario.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes that National Grid is holding above key moving averages, highlighting short-term momentum. However, oscillators show internal divergence and several indicators warn of overbought conditions. He maintains a defensive outlook until the price breaks clearly above resistance. "Base case remains consolidation between GBX1,196.24 and GBX1,225.76 — if support gives way, further downside is likely."

Earlier, analysts noted that uncertainty in the UK energy sector—driven in part by regulatory changes and broader market volatility—was impacting industry players and investor confidence. Against this backdrop, National Grid's current technical positioning warrants close attention to potential shifts in momentum, with the next decisive move likely hinging on a break of the GBX1,196.24–1,225.76 range.
