VimpelCom Ltd stock downgraded from Buy Candidate to Hold/Accumulate after Thursday trading session
(Updated on Jul 23, 2026)
The VimpelCom Ltd stock price fell by -2.25% on the last day (Thursday, 23rd Jul 2026) from $53.18 to $51.98. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.99% from a day low at $51.55 to a day high of $53.09. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -3.42% loss for the last 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day along with the stock, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the stock. On the last day, the trading volume fell by -2 thousand shares and in total, 82 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $4.24 million.
The stock is moving within a wide and horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect VimpelCom Ltd stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $49.50 and $58.54 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.
VEON Signals & Forecast
The VimpelCom Ltd stock holds a sell signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, there is a buy signal from the long-term average. Since the short-term average is above the long-term average there is a general buy signal in the stock giving a positive forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the short-term Moving Average at approximately $52.19. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $51.92. A break-up through the short-term average will send a buy signal, whereas a breakdown through the long-term average will send a sell signal. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, July 09, 2026, and so far it has fallen -3.42%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for VimpelCom Ltd stock
VimpelCom Ltd finds support from accumulated volume at $50.03 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.
In general the stock tends to have very controlled movements and with good liquidity the risk is considered very low in this stock. During the last day, the stock moved $1.54 between high and low, or 2.99%. For the last week the stock has had daily average volatility of 2.31%.
Our recommended stop-loss: $49.55 (-4.68%) (This stock has very low daily movements and this gives very low risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 10 days ago.)
Trading Expectations (VEON) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 24th
For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 24th we expect VimpelCom Ltd to open at $52.21, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $51.22 and $52.74, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.53 (+/-2.98%) up or down from last closing price. If VimpelCom Ltd takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.98% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $52.10 (0.23%) than the support at $50.03 (3.75%), 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.
