RR’s Technical Outlook
The Rolls Royce share price has been on a bullish momentum for the past month. The stock is trading more than 27% above its lowest point this year in January. At the time of writing, it was trading 1.14% lower at 110p.
On the daily chart, it is slightly above the 25 and 50-day exponential moving averages. It is also trading above the 200-day moving average, further boosting the bullish outlook.
Therefore, the stock is likely to extend its rally to December’s high at 135.50p. However, a move below the 200 DMA at 105.70 will invalidate this view.
