During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.58% from a day low at £194.68 to a day high of £199.70. The price has fallen in 5 of the last 10 days and is down by -7.05% for this period. Volume fell on the last day along with the stock, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the stock.

The stock is moving within a wide and horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Helical Plc stock with a 90% probability to be traded between £190.65 and £215.93 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and stocks seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. Stocks turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.

HLCL.L Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, and so far it has risen 0.93%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Helical Plc stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at £199.84 and £203.79. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.

Trading Expectations (HLCL.L) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 22nd
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 22nd we expect Helical Plc to open at £196.53, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between £187.53 and £202.87, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-£7.67 (+/-3.93%) up or down from last closing price.

Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at £194.00 (0.61%) than the resistance at £198.40 (1.64%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..
