Rolls-Royce share price remains under pressure this month, moving from the year-to-date high of 1,195p in September to the current 1,040p. It is hovering near its lowest level since August this year. So, will the stock rise or fall in December this year?

Rolls-Royce share price technical analysis

The daily timeframe chart shows that the Rolls-Royce stock price has pulled back in the past few months, moving from the year-to-date high of 1,195p in September to the current 1,040p.

A closer look shows that the stock has formed a double-top pattern, a common bearish reversal pattern in technical analysis. It has now moved below the important support level at 1,090p, its lowest point in October.

The stock has now moved below the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), a sign that bears are gaining control for now.

It has also moved below the Supertrend indicator. The last time this indicator turned red was in April when it dropped from a high of 806p in March to a low of 555p in April this year. 

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Percentage Price Oscillator (PPO) have continued falling, with the PPO falling below the zero line. Also, the RSI is nearing the oversold level at 30.

Therefore, the most likely scenario is where it continues falling as sellers target the next support level at 1,000p. A move below the support 1,000p will point to more downside. 

On the flip side, a move above the key resistance level at 1,090p will invalidate the bearish outlook, and point to more upside in the near term.
