Nichols plc Stock Forecast
Red day on Friday for Nichols plc stock after losing 2.65%
(Updated on May 03, 2024)
The Nichols plc stock price fell by -2.65% on the last day (Friday, 3rd May 2024) from £980.00 to £954.00. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.73% from a day low at £952.00 to a day high of £978.00. The price has fallen in 5 of the last 10 days and is down by -4.6% for this period. 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 -20 thousand shares and in total, 19 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately £17.73 million.
The stock lies in the lower of a wide and falling trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at £946.87 is broken, it will firstly indicate a stronger fall rate. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -2.47% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between £923.51 and £1,029.73 at the end of this 3-month period.

NICL.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 Nichols 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 £981.14 and £990.46. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Friday, March 15, 2024, and so far it has fallen -10.84%. 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 Nichols 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.

Trading Expectations (NICL.L) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 7th
For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 7th we expect Nichols plc to open at £961.33, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between £917.29 and £990.71, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-£36.71 (+/-3.85%) up or down from last closing price. If Nichols plc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 7.70% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
With no support below and resistance from accumulated volume @ £978.00, some £24.00 (2.52%) from the current price of £954.00, our system finds the risk reward not very attractive.
Is Nichols plc stock A Buy?
Nichols plc holds several negative signals and is within a wide and 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.
