Price is expected to range between GBX1,223 and GBX1,274 over the next 2–3 days, with a 70% probability of an upward move.

Mixed momentum as price sustains above key technical supports

On the technical front, NG is trading above the MA-20 and MA-50 on the hourly chart at GBX1,236, holding firm above the MA-200 at GBX1,224. The Ichimoku Kijun level at GBX1,233 is acting as immediate support. Momentum signals are mixed: the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) shows a buy, the Average Directional Index (ADX) indicates neutral trend strength, and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 54.89, suggesting a mild bullish setup. Both the Stochastic RSI and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) are neutral, along with the Awesome Oscillator, pointing to a lack of overbought or oversold signals. Bull/Bear Power currently favors buyers intraday, though momentum oscillators overall produce a mixed short-term technical outlook.

Directional bias emerges as range-bound scenario drives near-term risk

For the next two to three trading days, NG is expected to move within a GBX1,223 to GBX1,274 range based on typical volatility. There is a 70% probability of an upward move within this band. The baseline scenario is for the price to hold its current range. A bullish breakout above resistance could drive the price toward the upper end of the forecast, while a loss of support at the Ichimoku Kijun level of GBX1,233 may see a retest of the lower boundary near GBX1,223.

Anton Kharitonov, analyst at Traders Union, sees National Grid holding firm above its key technical levels despite mixed momentum signals. He notes a cautious setup as most indicators remain neutral and no significant news influences sentiment. The expected range is GBX1,223 to GBX1,274, with technicals suggesting only mild bullishness intraday. "With no strong momentum or fresh drivers, I remain defensive and will watch for a clear breakout above resistance or breakdown below support before acting."

Earlier, analysts noted that growing reliance on demand flexibility is making the management of Britain’s electricity grid more complex amid the transition to renewables. In the near term, National Grid’s price action remains technically resilient within a defined range, but traders should monitor for a decisive move above resistance or a breakdown below the Ichimoku Kijun level to signal the next directional shift.
