IBST.L Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Friday, April 19, 2024, and so far it has fallen 0%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Ib 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 £148.34 and £150.15. 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). Volume fell on the last day without any changes to the price. This does not cause any direct divergence but may be an early warning and a possible "turning point". The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Ib plc stock
Ib plc finds support from accumulated volume at £144.80 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

Trading Expectations (IBST.L) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 23rd
For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 23rd we expect Ibstock plc to open at £146.20, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between £142.02 and £150.38, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-£4.18 (+/-2.86%) up or down from last closing price. If Ibstock plc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 5.72% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at £144.80 (0.96%) than the resistance at £149.00 (1.92%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..
Is Ibstock plc stock A Buy?
Ib plc holds several negative signals and is within a wide and falling trend, so we believe it will still perform weakly in the next couple of days or weeks.
