Downside risk persists as range-bound trading expected

Looking ahead, RKT is expected to consolidate between GBX4,875 and GBX5,076 in the coming sessions. The baseline view sees sideways action within this band, consistent with recent low volatility. A breakout above GBX5,070 could prompt a rebound, while a slide below GBX4,875 may open the way for additional declines, with downside remaining the higher-probability scenario in the short-term.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees Reckitt Benckiser Group’s technical picture as decisively weak. Indicators remain oversold and price is anchored below all major moving averages. The lack of supportive news heightens the risk. "Unless GBX5,070 is reclaimed, downside remains my base case and tactical bias is defensive for now."

Earlier, analysts noted that Reckitt Benckiser faced continued downside risk, with oversold technicals supporting a cautious short-term outlook. The current technical signals reinforce this view, with the prevailing scenario favoring consolidation within a narrow range and a close watch on a potential break below GBX4,875 for signs of further weakness.
