Momentum divergence grows as price stalls below technical levels

On the hourly chart, RKT has moved below the MA-20 at GBX5,140 and MA-50 at GBX5,125, with the longer-term MA-200 positioned at GBX5,405. The nearest resistance is set by the Ichimoku Kijun at GBX5,143. MACD and ADX continue to signal ongoing selling pressure, while the RSI stands at 51.22, pointing to a mild buy bias. Stoch RSI and CCI both read as neutral, but Bull/Bear Power indicates intraday overbought conditions in low volatility. Overall, there is a notable divergence between the subdued price action and the composite momentum signal, adding to short-term uncertainty.

Sideways bias prevails as risk skews to further weakness

RKT is expected to oscillate between GBX5,042 and GBX5,169 in the coming days, with baseline expectations centered on sideways movement within this typical volatility corridor. The probability of a downside move stands at 62%, compared to a 38% chance of a rebound. A break above the Kijun resistance would be necessary to trigger a bullish scenario, while failure of the lower bound at GBX5,042 would open the way for further declines.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, believes Reckitt Benckiser remains under technical pressure below its key moving averages. He sees selling signals but notes the short-term momentum picture is mixed with little catalyst from news. The probability leans toward further downside unless the resistance at GBX5,143 is reclaimed. "Until the price breaks above the Kijun level, I remain cautious and see no clear bullish trigger for RKT."

Earlier, analysts noted that Reckitt Benckiser's technical setup was characterized by mixed momentum signals and persistent downside risk, making sustained recovery uncertain. The latest data reinforces this cautious outlook, and traders should closely monitor the GBX5,042 support level for any signs of a potential breakdown.
