(Updated on May 17, 2024)
The First Potomac Realty Trust stock price fell by -5.26% on the last day (Friday, 17th May 2024) from £19.00 to £18.00. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 9.29% from a day low at £17.00 to a day high of £18.58. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -5.26% loss for the last 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day by 93 thousand shares but on falling prices.

The stock has broken the horizontal trend down. Breaks like this are often followed by swift and strong movements, and any correction down to the breakline at approximately £18.40 is considered to be a "second chance" to get out before further fall. It is, however, important to note that false breaks may appear and that the price may move back into the horizontal trend. A break on increasing volume is considered to be more significant and reliable than breaks on low volume.

FPO.L Signals & Forecast
There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The First Potomac Realty Trust 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 £18.75 and £19.11. 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 15, 2024, and so far it has fallen -8.63%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the stock should be followed more closely.

Trading Expectations (FPO.L) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 20th
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 20th we expect First Potomac Realty Trust to open at £17.86, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between £17.47 and £18.53, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-£0.534 (+/-2.97%) up or down from last closing price. If First Potomac Realty Trust takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 5.94% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
With no support below and resistance from accumulated volume @ £18.90, some £0.90 (5.00%) from the current price of £18.00, our system finds the risk reward not very attractive.
