BT Group shares forecast: Can buyers defend GBX 210 ahead of UK GDP?
BT Group shares remain under pressure after the company’s strong financial results. Heavy profit-taking has pushed the price towards an important support area, where a short-term technical rebound could begin to take shape.
Following the 5 November results, BT Group shares came under sustained profit-taking pressure. From a local high of GBX 247.3, the price fell to GBX 213.4 by the close on 9 November, a decline of roughly 13.7%.
Analyst interest in the company remains intact. On 9 November, DZ Bank raised its price target for BT Group while reiterating a Buy rating. The more positive view, however, was not enough to halt the decline despite solid half-year results and improving operating performance at Openreach.

Holding GBX 210 could support a rebound toward GBX 220
The base case from the previous analysis played out in full, with BT Group shares reaching the GBX 215 target.
A rebound could begin to develop over the next few days if buyers manage to defend support at GBX 210. If the level holds, the recovery target would shift towards the lower end of the GBX 220–225 liquidity zone. This remains the base case.
A sustained move below GBX 210 would sharply increase the risk of a deeper decline towards the 200-day SMA near GBX 206.
UK GDP release brings another test for BT Group shares
The UK will publish its preliminary estimate of third-quarter 2026 GDP on Thursday, 12 November. According to the ONS calendar, the data are due at 07:00 GMT.
The release could alter expectations for the Bank of England’s next policy moves and trigger additional volatility across UK equities. After the recent sharp correction, BT Group remains particularly sensitive to shifts in market sentiment, so short-term traders may want to stay cautious ahead of the data.
