Highlights

NG/GBX faces short- to medium-term bearish pressure, trading below key moving averages on the hourly chart.
Oscillators indicate oversold conditions and active selling dominates, while momentum readings remain mixed, reflecting short-term indecision.
Price is expected to trade between GBX1,184.85 and GBX1,219.50, with a higher likelihood of decline unless resistance at GBX1,204.00 is reclaimed.

Mixed momentum signals as oversold pressure challenges support

NG/GBX is trading below both the MA-20 and MA-50 on the H1 timeframe, highlighting short- to medium-term bearish pressure, but remains above the MA-200 (daily), indicating some persistent longer-term support. The Ichimoku Kijun level at GBX1,204.00 serves as immediate resistance. Momentum signals are mixed: the MACD is neutral, the ADX shows no definitive trend, and the RSI is at 44.54, in sell territory. Stoch RSI, CCI, and BBP all indicate oversold conditions with seller dominance. The close near today's low, along with a moderate negative gap, suggests a weak intraday tone. Divergence between oversold oscillators and neutral momentum implies short-term indecision within a broader bearish setup.

Downside risk dominates as short-term volatility narrows outlook

Over the next two to three sessions, NG/GBX is expected to trade within a volatility band from GBX1,184.85 to GBX1,219.50. The probability for an upward move stands at 28%, while downward risk prevails. Baseline expectation is for price to remain within a sideways corridor near current levels. A bullish breakout above GBX1,204.00 could trigger a rebound toward the upper boundary, while a fall below GBX1,184.85 would increase the risk of further declines.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees ongoing technical weakness in National Grid as the price remains below key moving averages and no supporting news develops. He notes that oversold oscillators conflict with neutral momentum, keeping the near-term bias defensive. Short-term consolidation is likely, with the bearish setup intact unless GBX1,204.00 is reclaimed. "Base case remains a sideways to lower move; I will stay cautious until price establishes strength above immediate resistance."

Previously it was reported that British manufacturers warned high energy costs and policy uncertainty were posing risks to industrial competitiveness and stability. Against this backdrop, National Grid's recent technical weakness and prevailing bearish bias underscore the importance of monitoring potential downside breaks below GBX1,184.85, which could signal increased pressure across both the utility and broader industrial sectors.
