Sasol Ltd Stock Forecast
A very strong day for Sasol Ltd stock price on Wednesday
(Updated on Jul 03, 2024)
The Sasol Ltd stock price gained 6.17% on the last trading day (Wednesday, 3rd Jul 2024), rising from $7.46 to $7.92. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 3.35% from a day low at $7.77 to a day high of $8.03. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a 9.24% gain for the last 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 150 thousand more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 544 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $4.31 million.
The stock lies the upper part of a very wide and falling trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break up at the top trend line at $7.98 will firstly indicate a slower falling rate, but may be the first sign of a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -13.17% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $5.11 and $6.93 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.
