During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 11.11% from a day low at £18.00 to a day high of £20.00. The price has fallen in 5 of the last 10 days and is down by -4.1% for this period. Volume fell on the last day along with the stock, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the stock.

The stock is moving within a very wide and horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Directa Plus Plc stock with a 90% probability to be traded between £16.11 and £20.48 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.

DCTA.L Signals & Forecast
There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The Directa Plus Plc stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at £19.37 and £18.86. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Friday, April 12, 2024, and so far it has fallen -8.33%. 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 along with the price during the last trading day, which is technical positive. One should, however, note that this stock may have low liquidity in periods, which increases the general risk.

Trading Expectations (DCTA.L) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 26th
For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 26th we expect Directa Plus Plc to open at £18.90, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between £17.41 and £19.99, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-£1.29 (+/-6.89%) up or down from last closing price.

Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at £18.50 (1.07%) than the resistance at £19.00 (1.60%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..
