Sell candidate since Aug 03, 2026 Loss -0.44%

The Pepsico stock price gained 0.419% on the last trading day (Friday, 7th Aug 2026), rising from $138.44 to $139.02. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.70% from a day low at $137.15 to a day high of $139.49. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a 1.74% gain for the last 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -4 million shares and in total, 5 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $638.56 million. 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.

The stock lies in the middle of a falling trend in the short term and further fall within the trend is signaled. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -8.26% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $121.71 and $130.32 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.

PEP Signals & Forecast

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Thursday, July 23, 2026, and so far it has risen 3.02%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell during the last trading day despite gaining prices. This causes a divergence between volume and price and it may be an early warning. The stock should be watched closely. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Pepsico 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 $139.25 and $139.37. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Pepsico stock

Pepsico finds support from accumulated volume at $138.68 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

Trading Expectations (PEP) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 10th

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 10th we expect Pepsico Inc to open at $138.55, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $137.45 and $140.59, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$3.14 (+/-2.28%) up or down from last closing price. If Pepsico Inc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.28% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at $138.68 (0.24%) than the resistance at $141.92 (2.09%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..
