(Updated on Apr 18, 2024)

GSK Signals & Forecast

There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The GlaxoSmithKline 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 $40.21 and $41.91. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, March 07, 2024, and so far it has fallen -9.89%. 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.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for GlaxoSmithKline stock

GlaxoSmithKline finds support from accumulated volume at $39.07 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

This stock is usually traded at a good volume, and with minor daily changes, the risk is considered to be low. During the last day, the stock moved $0.345 (0.88%) between high and low. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 1.18%.

GlaxoSmithKline is oversold on RSI14 (10). Some stocks may fall long and hard while being oversold on RSI, but stocks that are heavily oversold on RSI often pose good re-bounce chance and played well it can be a buy candidate.

Our recommended stop-loss: $36.69 (-6.58%) (This stock has low daily movements and this gives low risk. Low RSI14 is 10 which reduces the risk some. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 29 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (GSK) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 19th

For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 19th we expect GlaxoSmithKline PLC to open at $39.31, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $38.71 and $39.83, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.555 (+/-1.41%) up or down from last closing price. If GlaxoSmithKline PLC takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.83% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $39.44 (0.43%) than the support at $39.07 (0.51%), 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 GlaxoSmithKline PLC stock A Buy?

GlaxoSmithKline holds several negative signals and this should be a sell candidate, but due to the general chance for a turnaround situation it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development.
