Sideways drift likely as bearish risks outweigh rebound

The expected price range for the coming sessions is GBX1,780 to GBX1,856. With the probability of a further decline assessed as very high, the baseline scenario is for GSK to move sideways within this band. The likelihood of an upward reversal is low in the short term. A move above resistance would be required for a bullish breakout, while a drop below support would reinforce the bearish trend.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees GSK stuck below its key moving averages with multiple momentum indicators confirming oversold and bearish pressure. He considers the price likely to remain rangebound between GBX1,780 and GBX1,856, with low chances for a quick reversal. Analyst maintains a defensive outlook unless key resistance levels are reclaimed. "Until GSK breaks above GBX1,865, downside risks remain elevated and I see no tactical long setup here."

Earlier, analysts noted a return to profitability for James Fisher and IQE, driven by strong performances in select sectors despite ongoing market uncertainties. The current technical outlook for GSK introduces a fresh perspective, with traders advised to watch for a decisive move above GBX1,865 resistance or a break below GBX1,780 support as indicators of the next directional move.
