Weaker technical forecast for Banco Santander SA as stock downgraded to Hold/Accumulate
(Updated on Jun 18, 2026)
The Banco Santander SA stock price gained 1.28% on the last trading day (Thursday, 18th Jun 2026), rising from $13.33 to $13.50. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.26% from a day low at $13.50 to a day high of $13.67. The price has risen in 7 of the last 10 days and is up by 8.26% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -4 million shares and in total, 11 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $142.50 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 wide and strong rising trend in the short term and a further rise within the trend is signaled. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 12.46% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $13.87 and $15.67 at the end of this 3-month period.
SAN Signals & Forecast
The Banco Santander SA 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 $12.96 and $12.32. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Monday, May 04, 2026, and so far it has risen 16.88%. 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.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Banco Santander SA stock
On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $12.49 and $12.33. 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, Banco Santander SA finds support just below today's level at $12.49. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $12.33 and $12.20.
This stock has average movements during the day and with good trading volume, the risk is considered to be medium. During the last day, the stock moved $0.170 between high and low, or 1.26%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 1.93%.
Our recommended stop-loss: $13.07 (-3.18%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 32 days ago.)
Trading Expectations (SAN) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 22nd
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 22nd we expect Banco Santander SA to open at $13.56, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $13.32 and $13.68, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.356 (+/-2.67%) up or down from last closing price. If Banco Santander SA takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.67% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
With no resistance above and support from accumulated volume @ $12.49, some $1.01 (7.48%) from the current price of $13.50, our system finds the risk reward attractive.
Is Banco Santander SA stock A Buy?
Banco Santander SA holds several positive signals, but we still don't find these to be enough for a buy candidate. At the current level, it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development. 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 Hold candidate.
