Diageo plc Stock Forecast
Explanation to Bollinger's Bands
Bollinger Bands was created by John Bollinger in the early 1980s, its purpose is to define price action relative to the assets highs and lows. This technical indicator is used to identify buy and sell signals and has proven very well in doing so.
Bollinger Bands consist of a set of three curves drawn in relation to securities prices. The middle band is a measure of the intermediate-term trend, usually a simple moving average, that serves as the base for the upper and lower bands. The interval between the upper and lower bands and the middle band is determined by volatility, typically the standard deviation of the same data that were used for the average. StockInvest.us uses Bollingers suggested 20 day average.
Middle Bollinger Band = 20-period simple moving average
Upper Bollinger Band = Middle Bollinger Band + 2 * 20-period standard deviation
Lower Bollinger Band = Middle Bollinger Band - 2 * 20-period standard deviation
BandWidth defines the current width of the band.
%b defines the current position within the band.
BandWidth = (Upper Bollinger Band - Lower Bollinger Band) / Middle Bollinger Band
%b = (Last - Lower Bollinger Band) / (Upper Bollinger Band - Lower Bollinger Band)
Live Samples:
Bottlenecks in bandwidth indicate an upcoming change. Break up through the moving average line or continuous movements above the moving average line indicate a break up, and vice versa.

Diageo plc stock price down 1.19% on Wednesday
(Updated on May 01, 2024)
The Diageo plc stock price fell by -1.19% on the last day (Wednesday, 1st May 2024) from £2,775.50 to £2,742.50. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.73% from a day low at £2,739.00 to a day high of £2,786.50. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -2.02% loss for the last 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 -2 million shares and in total, 2 million shares were bought and sold for approximately £4.52 billion.
The stock lies in the lower of a falling trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at £2,712.64 is broken, it will firstly indicate a stronger fall rate. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -6.01% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between £2,549.61 and £2,719.65 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.

DGE.L Signals & Forecast
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. The Diageo 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 £2,779.07 and £2,844.26. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Monday, April 22, 2024, and so far it has fallen -4.01%. 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.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Diageo plc stock
There is no support from accumulated volume below today's level and given the right condition the stock may perform very badly in the next couple of days.
In general the stock tends to have very controlled movements and with good liquidity the risk is considered very low in this stock. During the last day, the stock moved £47.50 between high and low, or 1.73%. For the last week the stock has had daily average volatility of 1.73%.
Our recommended stop-loss: We hold a negative evaluation for this stock. No stop-loss is set.
Trading Expectations (DGE.L) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 2nd
For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 2nd we expect Diageo plc to open at £2,756.00, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between £2,696.44 and £2,788.56, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-£46.06 (+/-1.68%) up or down from last closing price. If Diageo plc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.36% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
With no support below and resistance from accumulated volume @ £2,827.50, some £85.00 (3.10%) from the current price of £2,742.50, our system finds the risk reward not very attractive.
Is Diageo plc stock A Buy?
Diageo plc holds several negative signals and is within a falling trend, so we believe it will still perform weakly in the next couple of days or weeks. We therefore hold a negative evaluation of this stock.
