PPL Signals & Forecast
The PPL Corporation stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock, but the stock has a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $26.73 and $26.99. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. 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 Monday, April 22, 2024, and so far it has fallen -0.475%. 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 fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.

For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 24th we expect PPL Corporation to open at $27.34, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $26.80 and $27.68, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.442 (+/-1.62%) up or down from last closing price.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $27.25 (0.04%) than the support at $26.64 (2.20%), 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.
