Highlights

NG/GBX maintains a bullish trend above all key moving averages, confirming solid longer-term technical support.
Technical indicators collectively show prevailing bullish momentum, but multiple overbought signals suggest risk of short-term exhaustion.
Expected 2–3 day trading range is GBX1,222 to GBX1,269, with a 77% probability of the uptrend persisting short-term.

Bullish signals and overbought risks as momentum peaks

NG is trading above the MA-20 at GBX1,238 and MA-50 at GBX1,234 on the H1 timeframe, with longer-term support indicated by the MA-200 at GBX1,216 on the daily chart. The Ichimoku Kijun level at GBX1,236 serves as immediate support. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) shows a clear buy signal, while the Average Directional Index (ADX) is neutral. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 58.76, Commodity Channel Index (CCI) signals buy, Stochastic RSI and Bull/Bear Power are both overbought, and Awesome Oscillator remains bullish. This combination highlights strong underlying momentum, but it also reveals pockets of overbought conditions and potential near-term exhaustion.

Range-bound trading likely amid volatility near resistance

In the short term, NG is likely to remain range-bound between GBX1,222 and GBX1,269, reflecting typical volatility surrounding recent highs. The probability of an upward move is 77%, while a breakdown below immediate support near GBX1,236 may open a path to short-term weakness. If resistance is breached, renewed buying could quickly push the stock toward the upper end of the projected range.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees National Grid supported by strong technical momentum and constructive sentiment. He notes that the stock trades above key moving averages and technical indicators remain bullish, despite pockets of overbought conditions. The probability of an upward move is substantial, with immediate support at GBX1,236 and resistance at GBX1,269. Karapetjanc believes a range-bound phase will likely persist unless resistance is breached. "As long as NG holds above GBX1,236, I expect buyers to remain in control and the stock to aim for the upper part of its recent range."

Earlier, analysts noted that National Grid maintained a bullish technical outlook supported by strong momentum and alignment across key moving averages. With the latest momentum indicators flashing overbought readings alongside continued underlying strength, traders should monitor for a potential volatility spike if NG decisively breaks out of its current range.
