The decline in house building stocks appears to be nearing its end.
The end of the hiking cycle should improve sentiment for householders.
The price is approaching the lower end of the trend channel and represents an attractive risk/reward opportunity.

Big UK constructor.. I think the last swing high is in 3 rather than a 5 as labelled but we have 5 waves down from highs in A and trendline a logical place to reshort. You can see it held prior 4 ...unlike a lot of stocks it could not take out pre Covid highs in spite of speculative buying frenzy post Covid
Persimmon has been following a trend channel and bounced off the bottom a couple of days back, supported by the 200 DMA.
A Buy indicator today with a fairly tight stop below the 20 and 50 MAs for support gives this a decent R:R if we target the top of the channel for take profit and coincidentally the pre-covid highs.
Technicals
Persimmon is holding at key support and showing signs of attracting value hunters. I also note the bullish divergence on the relative ratio (Persimmon share price / UKX). The price of sterling has been a drag on the shares and with GBP moving higher yesterday it could offer some relief to domestic stocks. Technically and fundamentally, Persimmon looks...

On the downside, only a daily close below 1800 would signal bullish invalidation.
The stock retreated from the critical resistance around the psychological figure of 1800 and was last seen trading around 1732.
The daily candle is now a bearish outside day.
A break below 1700 would open doors for a test of the falling channel floor seen today around 1573.
Tomorrow brings the earnings of UK home builder Persimmon.
UK home builders have performed well in recent times with the UK government backing the housing market with expansion plans. In terms of recent broker recommendations UBS, Credit Suisse and Canaccord have all upgraded to company within the last 4 months.
