Johnson Service Group plc Stock Forecast
Stronger technical forecast for Johnson Service Group plc stock price after Monday trading.
(Updated on Apr 22, 2024)
The Johnson Service Group plc stock price gained 4.13% on the last trading day (Monday, 22nd Apr 2024), rising from £125.80 to £131.00. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 6.76% from a day low at £124.20 to a day high of £132.60. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days but is still up by 0.15% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -43 thousand shares and in total, 567 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately £74.34 million. You should take into consideration that falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes over the next couple of days.
The stock lies the upper part of a wide and falling 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 £132.56 will firstly indicate a slower falling rate, but may be the first sign of a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -13.53% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between £104.05 and £114.62 at the end of this 3-month period. Do note, that if the stock price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.

JSG.L Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Monday, April 15, 2024, and so far it has risen 7.38%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell during the last trading day despite gaining prices. This causes a divergence between volume and price and it may be an early warning. The stock should be watched closely. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Johnson Service Group plc stock holds a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the stock giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at £131.37. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at £125.17. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal.
