The Rockhopper Exploration 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 £13.56.

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.

This causes a divergence between volume and price and it may be an early warning. The stock should be watched closely.
