WPP Plc Stock Forecast
Weaker technical forecast for WPP Plc as stock downgraded to Hold/Accumulate.
(Updated on Mar 27, 2024)
The WPP Plc stock price fell by -0.189% on the last day (Wednesday, 27th Mar 2024) from £741.20 to £739.80. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.23% from a day low at £726.00 to a day high of £742.20. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a 3.76% gain for the last 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day by 829 thousand shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 3 million shares were bought and sold for approximately £2.36 billion.
The stock lies in the middle of a wide and falling trend in the short term and further fall within the trend is signaled. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -4.90% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between £653.16 and £733.95 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.

WPP.L Signals & Forecast
The WPP Plc 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 £727.74 and £734.48. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. 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 Friday, March 22, 2024, and so far it has fallen -0.296%. 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.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for WPP Plc stock
WPP Plc finds support from accumulated volume at £730.60 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.
In general the stock tends to have very controlled movements and with good liquidity the risk is considered very low in this stock. During the last day, the stock moved £16.20 between high and low, or 2.23%. For the last week the stock has had daily average volatility of 1.95%.
Our recommended stop-loss: £719.23 (-2.78%) (This stock has low daily movements and this gives low risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 3 days ago.)
Trading Expectations (WPP.L) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 28th
For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 28th we expect WPP Plc to open at £736.00, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between £726.27 and £753.33, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-£13.53 (+/-1.83%) up or down from last closing price. If WPP Plc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.66% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at £745.40 (0.76%) than the support at £730.60 (1.24%), 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 WPP Plc stock A Buy?
WPP 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 Buy to a Hold/Accumulate candidate.
Current score: 0.156 Hold/Accumulate Downgraded
