Highlights

  • NG/GBX trades below key short-, medium-, and long-term moving averages, confirming sustained seller dominance.
  • Bearish momentum prevails with technical indicators signaling strong selling pressure and oversold intraday conditions.
  • Price is likely to move sideways within the GBX1,153–GBX1,202 range, with a breakout above GBX1,199 needed for any bullish reversal.

Bearish momentum confirmed as support weakens and indicators oversold

NG is trading below the MA-20 (GBX1,202), MA-50 (GBX1,205), and MA-200 (GBX1,203), with the Ichimoku Kijun level at GBX1,199 acting as immediate resistance. Momentum signals remain bearish, with both MACD and RSI in sell territory and ADX showing neutral trend strength. Stoch RSI, CCI, and BBP all indicate oversold conditions, highlighting strong intraday seller dominance. The Awesome Oscillator also signals a sell, in line with the prevailing downward tone.

Downside risk elevated as volatility band limits rebound

In the short term, NG is likely to remain within a GBX1,153–GBX1,202 volatility band relative to current levels. The probability of an upward move is very low, while downside risk remains high, making a sustained rebound unlikely over the next few sessions. A bullish move would require a break above the GBX1,199 resistance, while a close below GBX1,153 would signal a deeper bearish scenario.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees National Grid plc under persistent technical pressure. The price remains below all key moving averages, with pronounced bearish momentum. Volatility is contained, but downside risks outweigh any near-term rebound potential. "Until GBX1,199 is convincingly broken to the upside, I remain cautious and see limited reason to expect a reversal here."

Previously it was reported that federal regulators are advancing initiatives to address rising electricity demand from large power users and modernize grid access rules. For National Grid, this evolving policy backdrop could add further volatility, making a sustained close above GBX1,199 a key threshold for traders watching for any shift in momentum.
