Pearson Plc Stock Forecast
Evaluation of Pearson Plc stock downgraded after the last trading session.
(Updated on Apr 24, 2024)
The Pearson Plc stock price fell by -1.03% on the last day (Wednesday, 24th Apr 2024) from $12.64 to $12.51. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.08% from a day low at $12.46 to a day high of $12.59. The price has fallen in 5 of the last 10 days and is down by -0.48% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day by 143 thousand shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 591 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $7.40 million.
The stock lies in the lower part of a weak rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $12.35 is broken, it will firstly indicate a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning for a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 6.02% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $13.10 and $14.19 at the end of this 3-month period.

PSO Signals & Forecast
There are mixed signals in the stock today. The Pearson Plc stock holds a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the stock giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at $12.77. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $12.41. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the stock should be followed more closely. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, and so far it has risen 1.87%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found.

Trading Expectations (PSO) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 25th
For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 25th we expect Pearson Plc to open at $12.52, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $12.35 and $12.67, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.158 (+/-1.27%) up or down from last closing price. If Pearson Plc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.53% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at $12.21 (2.40%) than the resistance at $12.96 (3.60%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..
