During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.04% from a day low at £720.00 to a day high of £727.50. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -0.35% for this period.

The stock is moving within a horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected.

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.

IGG.L Signals & Forecast
There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The IG Group Hldgs 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 £730.79 and £720.54. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, April 11, 2024, and so far it has fallen -2.64%. 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 rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the stock should be followed more closely.
