Highlights

  • NG/GBX faces persistent selling pressure, trading below key moving averages across hourly and daily timeframes.
  • Momentum and oscillator indicators are heavily oversold, with intraday session closing 1.5% lower and near session lows.
  • Price is expected to consolidate in the GBX1,197–GBX1,227 range; probability of a further decline remains high barring a break above immediate resistance.

Support levels breached as technical signals turn broadly negative

NG remains below the MA-20 (GBX1,238) and MA-50 (GBX1,236) on the H1 chart, and sits under the MA-200 (GBX1,222) on the daily timeframe. The Ichimoku Kijun at GBX1,231 acts as immediate resistance. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) registers a sell bias, while the Average Directional Index (ADX) signals neutral trend strength. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 28.63 and, together with the Stochastic RSI and Commodity Channel Index (CCI), points to an oversold condition. Bull/Bear Power shows dominant seller momentum intraday and the Awesome Oscillator is neutral, aligning most technical signals to the downside.

Downside risk elevated as volatility band defines near-term range

Looking ahead to the next 2–3 sessions, NG is expected to trade in the GBX1,197–GBX1,227 volatility band relative to current levels. Downside risk remains elevated, with a high probability of further weakness. If price consolidates, it is likely to remain within the suggested corridor. A break above GBX1,231 (Ichimoku Kijun resistance) would shift short-term scenario risk to the upside, while losing the GBX1,197 support boundary could trigger additional declines.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, Traders Union expert, notes that National Grid faces persistent selling pressure and remains below key moving averages. He believes technical signals are still aligned to the downside, but sees room for a constructive scenario if resistance at GBX1,231 is reclaimed. Macro sentiment offers little immediate support, so volatility is likely in the short term. "If NG consolidates within GBX1,197–GBX1,227 and sentiment stabilizes, I see potential for a confident recovery above the Ichimoku Kijun level."

Earlier, analysts noted that National Grid was experiencing persistent technical weakness and growing downside risk amid seller dominance. The latest price action and indicator alignment reinforce this bearish backdrop, making GBX1,197 a critical support to monitor for any potential acceleration in downward momentum.
