Downside risk prevails amid muted breakout odds

In the next 2–3 trading days, NG is expected to range between GBX1,150 and GBX1,197, with typical volatility relative to current levels. The probability of an upside breakout is estimated at just 22%, while a downward move is more likely at 78%. A sustained advance requires a clear break above GBX1,178 resistance. A move below support at GBX1,150 could trigger further selling pressure.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees sustained bearish momentum in National Grid with the price held below all key moving averages. He notes that several technical indicators remain mixed to negative, and no fresh news currently supports a reversal. The analyst believes there is little reason to expect immediate upside unless GBX1,178 is broken. "As long as NG trades below resistance and lacks positive drivers, I remain defensive and see higher risk of further declines."

Earlier, analysts noted that National Grid shares were experiencing ongoing weak momentum and exhibited a downside bias as they struggled to overcome resistance. The current analysis reinforces this scenario, signaling that traders should monitor whether NG can hold above the GBX1,150 support level in the coming sessions.
