Downside risk dominates as breakout potential remains low
In the near term, trading is expected within the GBX1,885 to GBX1,949 range, reflecting typical volatility. The likelihood of an upward breakout is very low, while downside risk dominates. A move above GBX1,942 would be necessary for a bullish reversal, while a break below GBX1,885 would open the door for further declines.
