Unilever PLC Stock Forecast

Weaker technical forecast for Unilever PLC as stock downgraded to Hold/Accumulate.
(Updated on Apr 26, 2024)

UL Signals & Forecast

The Unilever PLC stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock, but the stock has a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $48.63 and $48.78. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, and so far it has risen 10.26%. 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. The stock had a Golden Star Signal on Monday, March 11, 2024 for the short-term and also have Golden Star Signal for the medium-term dated Friday, January 26, 2024.

Golden Star Signal is when the short-term moving average, the long-term moving average, and price line meet in a special combination. This combination is very rare and often followed by long and strong gains for the stock in question.

Trading Expectations (UL) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 29th

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 29th we expect Unilever PLC to open at $51.31, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $50.54 and $51.94, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.701 (+/-1.37%) up or down from last closing price. If Unilever PLC takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.74% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

With no resistance above and support from accumulated volume @ $50.92, some $0.320 (0.62%) from the current price of $51.24, our system finds the risk reward attractive.

Is Unilever PLC stock A Buy?

Unilever PLC 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/Accumulate candidate.

Current score: 0.000 Hold/Accumulate Downgraded

Zero in score indicates that our system is expecting high volatility and risk for the following trading day. Given the latest developments, we cannot determine the next direction as it may go both ways.
