Genus plc Stock Forecast
Weaker technical forecast for Genus plc as stock downgraded to Sell Candidate.
(Updated on Apr 19, 2024)
The Genus plc stock price fell by -2.16% on the last day (Friday, 19th Apr 2024) from £1,756.00 to £1,718.00. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.10% from a day low at £1,714.00 to a day high of £1,750.00. The price has fallen in 5 of the last 10 days and is down by -1.49% for this period. Volume fell on the last day along with the stock, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the stock. On the last day, the trading volume fell by -142 thousand shares and in total, 42 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately £72.42 million.
The stock lies the upper part of a very 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 £1,781.66 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 -25.24% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between £991.78 and £1,332.02 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.

GNS.L Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Monday, March 04, 2024, and so far it has risen 4.95%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Genus plc stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at £1,754.86 and £1,766.60. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. 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.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Genus plc stock

Trading Expectations (GNS.L) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 22nd
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 22nd we expect Genus plc to open at £1,727.33, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between £1,659.41 and £1,776.59, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-£58.59 (+/-3.41%) up or down from last closing price. If Genus plc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 6.82% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at £1,715.00 (0.17%) than the resistance at £1,780.00 (3.61%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..
Is Genus plc stock A Buy?
Genus plc holds several negative signals and is within a very wide and falling trend, so we believe it will still perform weakly in the next couple of days or weeks.
