Unilever plc Stock Forecast
Unilever plc stock upgraded to Hold/Accumulate.
(Updated on Apr 18, 2024)
The Unilever plc stock price gained 0.86% on the last trading day (Thursday, 18th Apr 2024), rising from £3,738.00 to £3,770.00. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.31% from a day low at £3,747.00 to a day high of £3,796.00. The price has fallen in 8 of the last 10 days and is down by -2.63% for this period. Volume fell on the last day by -3 million shares and in total, 5 million shares were bought and sold for approximately £18.77 billion. 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 is at the lower part of a horizontal trend in the short term, and normally this may pose a good buying opportunity, though a breakdown through the bottom trend line at £3,737.58 will give a strong sell signal and a trend shift may be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Unilever plc stock with a 90% probability to be traded between £3,713.50 and £4,012.01 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and stocks seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. Stocks turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.

ULVR.L Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, and so far it has risen 0.86%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. 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. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Unilever plc stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at £3,778.14 and £3,865.21. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Unilever plc stock
Unilever plc finds support from accumulated volume at £3,738.00 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.
This stock is usually traded at a good volume, and with minor daily changes, the risk is considered to be low. During the last day, the stock moved £49.00 (1.31%) between high and low. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 1.09%.
Unilever plc is oversold on RSI14 (17). Some stocks may drop long and hard while being oversold on RSI before turning, which increases the general risk.
Our recommended stop-loss: £3,550.03 (-5.83%) (This stock has low daily movements and this gives low risk. Low RSI14 is 17 which reduces the risk some. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 1 day ago.)
Trading Expectations (ULVR.L) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 19th
For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 19th we expect Unilever plc to open at £3,771.00, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between £3,724.81 and £3,815.19, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-£45.19 (+/-1.20%) up or down from last closing price. If Unilever plc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.40% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at £3,738.00 (0.85%) than the resistance at £3,811.50 (1.10%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..
