PSO Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, May 01, 2024, and so far it has risen 3.56%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. 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 $12.62. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $12.33. 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.

For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 8th we expect Pearson Plc to open at $12.53, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $12.34 and $12.66, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.163 (+/-1.31%) up or down from last closing price. If Pearson Plc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.61% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at $12.39 (0.88%) than the resistance at $12.96 (3.68%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..
