Further downside likely as volatility band contains consolidation risk

Over the next 2–3 sessions, RKT is expected to trade within a volatility band of GBX4,894 to GBX5,047. Downward momentum dominates, with a 78% likelihood of further declines and just a 22% chance of a rebound. The baseline scenario calls for price to consolidate within this range; a breakout above resistance may prompt a test of higher levels, while further losses can be expected if support is breached.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees technical weakness dominating Reckitt Benckiser (RKT) with price firmly below key moving averages and multiple sell signals confirmed. He points out that bearish momentum continues, with oversold readings and a limited chance for a rebound in the near term. The baseline view is consolidation between GBX4,894 and GBX5,047, with risks skewed toward further declines if support breaks. "For now, I remain cautious on RKT — until we see a clear move above resistance, sellers are in control."

Earlier, analysts noted that Reckitt Benckiser’s technical outlook was pressured by persistent bearish momentum with limited prospects for a near-term reversal. The latest price action further underscores this dynamic, setting GBX5,050 as a critical resistance level to monitor for any potential shift in trend.
