GlaxoSmithKline plc Stock Forecast
GlaxoSmithKline plc stock price up 0.289% on Friday
(Updated on May 03, 2024)
The GlaxoSmithKline plc stock price gained 0.289% on the last trading day (Friday, 3rd May 2024), rising from £1,728.50 to £1,733.50. It has now gained 7 days in a row. It is not often that stocks manage to gain so many days in a row, and falls for a day or two should be expected. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.46% from a day low at £1,718.00 to a day high of £1,743.00. The price has risen in 9 of the last 10 days and is up by 8.41% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -2 million shares and in total, 4 million shares were bought and sold for approximately £7.35 billion. You should take into consideration that falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes over the next couple of days.
Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect GlaxoSmithKline plc stock with a 90% probability to be traded between £1,569.48 and £1,720.65 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and stocks seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. Stocks turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners. 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.
