(Updated on Apr 24, 2024)

MTO.L Signals & Forecast

The Mitie Group plc stock holds a sell signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, there is a buy signal from the long-term average. Since the short-term average is above the long-term average there is a general buy signal in the stock giving a positive forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the short-term Moving Average at approximately £116.54. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the long-term average at approximately £109.12. A break-up through the short-term average will send a buy signal, whereas a breakdown through the long-term average will send a sell signal. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). 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 Tuesday, April 23, 2024, and so far it has fallen -3.17%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the stock should be followed more closely. The stock had a Golden Star Signal on Tuesday, October 31, 2023 in the long-term chart.

Golden Star Signal is when the short-term moving average, the long-term moving average, and price line meet in a special combination. This combination is very rare and often followed by long and strong gains for the stock in question.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Mitie Group plc stock

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at £105.20 and £105.00. There is a natural risk involved when a stock is testing a support level, since if this is broken, the stock then may fall to the next support level. In this case, Mitie Group plc finds support just below today's level at £105.20. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at £105.00 and £102.80.

This stock has average movements during the day and with good trading volume, the risk is considered to be medium. During the last day, the stock moved £6.40 between high and low, or 5.71%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 2.79%.

Our recommended stop-loss: £111.39 (-4.14%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 1 day ago.)

Trading Expectations (MTO.L) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 25th

For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 25th we expect Mitie Group plc to open at £115.53, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between £112.42 and £119.98, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-£3.78 (+/-3.26%) up or down from last closing price. If Mitie Group plc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 6.51% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at £117.60 (1.20%) than the support at £105.20 (9.47%), 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.

Is Mitie Group plc stock A Buy?

Mitie Group plc holds several positive signals, but we still don't find these to be enough for a buy candidate. At the current level, it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development. Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Strong Buy to a Hold/Accumulate candidate.

Current score: -0.286 Hold/Accumulate Downgraded
