Prudential plc Stock Forecast

Evaluation of Prudential plc stock downgraded after the last trading session.
(Updated on May 17, 2024)

PRU.F Signals & Forecast

The Prudential plc stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at 9.44€ and 8.77€. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. 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. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, May 16, 2024, and so far it has fallen -0.515%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume fell along with the price during the last trading day which is technical positive. One should, however, note that this stock may have low liquidity in periods, which increases the general risk. The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Prudential plc stock

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at 8.95€ and 8.80€. There is a natural risk involved when a stock is testing a support level, since if this is broken, the stock then may fall to the next support level. In this case, Prudential plc finds support just below today's level at 8.95€. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at 8.80€ and 8.50€.

This stock has average movements during the day, but be aware of low or falling volume as this increases the risk. During the last day, the stock moved 0.250€ between high and low, or 2.62%. For the last week the stock has had daily average volatility of 0.95%.

The Prudential plc stock is overbought on RSI14 and lies in the upper part of the trend. Normally this may pose a good selling opportunity for the short-term trader, but some stocks may go long and hard while being overbought. Regardless, the high RSI together with the trend position increases the risk and higher daily movements (volatility) should be expected. A correction down in the nearby future seems very likely and it is of great importance that the stock manages to break the trend before that occurs.

Our recommended stop-loss: We hold a negative evaluation for this stock. No stop-loss is set.

Trading Expectations (PRU.F) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 20th

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 20th we expect Prudential plc to open at 9.67€, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between 9.50€ and 9.80€, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-0.150€ (+/-1.56%) up or down from last closing price. If Prudential plc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.12% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at 9.70€ (0.52%) than the support at 8.95€ (7.25%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.

Is Prudential plc stock A Buy?

Prudential plc holds several negative signals and we believe that it will still perform weakly in the next couple of days or weeks. We, therefore, hold a negative evaluation of this stock. Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Buy to a Sell candidate.

Current score: -1.259 Sell Candidate Downgraded
