Technical analysis for the stock-

Smith and Nephew stock saw a bull run with its price rallying almost 300£ between January and May. The stock saw strong rejection from 1300£ levels. Which is also a very strong resistance for the stock currently.

The stock faced rejection from that level and saw a sharp selling post that which led to the price slumping to 1100 £ levels. 

The stock currently trades at a very crucial support and even the slightest of negative sentiment can lead to a bigger price slump. 

As we look at a smaller time frame, we see a bear flag kind off formation. With the price consolidating after a big fall. If this pattern is respected. We can see the price moving to even lower levels with 1060£ as the next support and target as well.

Technically, the chart currently looks week as buyers are not showing any interest 

into the stock currently. Most of the indicators currently predict more downward movement in the upcoming weeks for the stock.

For someone willing to enter long, they should wait till the price comfortably settles and there is no more space for bearish movement in the stock. If the price sustains at 1060£ levels, they can be a good entry for buyers.

Current upside targets for the stock are 1125£ and 1150£ and these have been resistance points in the past few days and must be breaches do as to confirm a breakout.

Even though currently the stock looks slightly negative, analysts predict the price to cross 1350£ within a year. Which is a huge upside from the current levels.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the stock can be a good option for the traders as high volatility is expect in the near future. The stock will itself show good buying levels for long term buyers. But they need to be patient and wait for 1-2 months at least before entering.
