Barclays PLC Stock Forecast
Stronger technical forecast for Barclays PLC stock price after Monday trading.
(Updated on May 20, 2024)
The Barclays PLC stock price gained 0.394% on the last trading day (Monday, 20th May 2024), rising from 2.54€ to 2.55€. It has now gained 3 days in a row. It will be exciting to see whether it manages to continue gaining or take a minor break for the next few days. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 0.630% from a day low at 2.54€ to a day high of 2.56€. The price has risen in 9 of the last 10 days and is up by 6.3% over the past 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 1 million more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 3 million shares were bought and sold for approximately 7.67€ million.
The stock lies in the upper part of a wide and strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break-up at the top trend line at 2.58€ will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 29.09% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between 3.01€ and 3.33€ at the end of this 3-month period.
