Downside favored as price tests narrow trading band

Looking ahead, the expected trading range over the next 2–3 sessions is GBX3,293 to GBX3,395. The probability of an upward move is estimated at 43%, with a downward scenario more likely at 57%. The base case is for stabilization within this band. Should price break above the upper limit, further upside may follow, while a move below the Ichimoku Kijun at GBX3,341 could accelerate a decline.

Anton Kharitonov, Traders Union expert, notes SHEL is struggling to find clear direction as mixed momentum signals persist. He sees price supported by the Ichimoku Kijun at GBX3,341 but capped below key resistance within a low volatility environment. The analyst maintains a cautious stance as the baseline favors stabilization over breakout. "With sellers still active and technical signals divided, I remain defensive unless price breaks convincingly above GBX3,395."

Previously it was reported that Shell faced ongoing downside pressure amid questions over its capital allocation strategy, with technicals suggesting a cautious stance. The current setup adds a layer of mixed momentum and low volatility, making the GBX3,341 Ichimoku Kijun a critical level for traders to monitor for confirmation of the next directional move.
