Henry Boot PLC Stock Forecast
Henry Boot PLC stock downgraded to Sell Candidate
(Updated on May 08, 2024)
The Henry Boot PLC stock price fell by -0.270% on the last day (Wednesday, 8th May 2024) from £185.50 to £185.00. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.77% from a day low at £180.50 to a day high of £185.50. The price has risen in 5 of the last 10 days and is up by 1.65% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day along with the stock, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the stock. On the last day, the trading volume fell by -320 thousand shares and in total, 62 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately £11.39 million.
The stock lies the upper part of a falling 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 £187.05 will firstly indicate a slower falling rate, but may be the first sign of a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -2.35% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between £169.56 and £182.64 at the end of this 3-month period. Do note, that if the stock price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.

BOOT.L Signals & Forecast
The Henry Boot PLC stock holds a sell signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, there is a buy signal from the long-term average. Since the short-term average is above the long-term average there is a general buy signal in the stock giving a positive forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the short-term Moving Average at approximately £185.57. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the long-term average at approximately £181.70. A break-up through the short-term average will send a buy signal, whereas a breakdown through the long-term average will send a sell signal. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Monday, April 29, 2024, and so far it has fallen -1.33%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. 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 (BOOT.L) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 9th
For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 9th we expect Henry Boot PLC to open at £183.67, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between £179.53 and £190.47, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-£5.47 (+/-2.96%) up or down from last closing price. If Henry Boot PLC takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 5.92% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at £185.50 (0.27%) than the support at £181.50 (1.89%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.
Is Henry Boot PLC stock A Buy?
