Drax Group Stock Forecast
Drax Group stock upgraded to Buy Candidate.
(Updated on Apr 23, 2024)
The Drax Group stock price gained 2.71% on the last trading day (Tuesday, 23rd Apr 2024), rising from £494.60 to £508.00. It has now gained 3 days in a row. It will be exciting to see whether it manages to continue gaining or take a minor break for the next few days. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.72% from a day low at £496.00 to a day high of £509.50. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a 4.14% gain for the last 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 2 million more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 2 million shares were bought and sold for approximately £1.12 billion.
The stock lies in the upper part of a wide and weak rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break-up at the top trend line at £514.20 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 6.81% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between £467.63 and £549.21 at the end of this 3-month period.

DRX.L Signals & Forecast
The Drax Group stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at £494.57 and £488.42. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical 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 Friday, April 12, 2024, and so far it has fallen -0.490%. 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).
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Drax Group stock

Trading Expectations (DRX.L) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Wednesday 24th
For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 24th we expect Drax Group to open at £504.50, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between £492.97 and £523.03, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-£15.03 (+/-2.96%) up or down from last closing price. If Drax Group takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 5.92% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at £508.80 (0.16%) than the support at £500.00 (1.57%), 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.
