The stock is moving within a narrow and horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected.

Stocks turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.

SSON.L Signals & Forecast
There are mixed signals in the stock today. The Smithson Investment Trust PLC stock holds a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the stock giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at £1,395.49. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at £1,382.86. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the stock should be followed more closely. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, and so far it has risen 1.46%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found.

Trading Expectations (SSON.L) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 25th
For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 25th we expect Smithson Investment Trust PLC to open at £1,396.00, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between £1,373.70 and £1,410.30, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-£18.30 (+/-1.31%) up or down from last closing price. If Smithson Investment Trust PLC takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.63% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at £1,398.00 (0.43%) than the support at £1,386.00 (0.43%), 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.
