IAG (LON: IAG) share price has been stagnant since the start of this week. This failure of any significant movement came after a 5% correction in the share price in the last few weeks. The major reason behind the correction is another rejection from the 169p resistance level.

IAG Share Price Forecast
The chart for LON: IAG shows that the price has seen a 5% correction from the 169p resistance level. The British Airways owner’s shares were changing hands at 160.95p till press time. Price is on track to meet my previous forecast, where I predicted the retest of the trendline.
IAG share price forecast is looking bearish after a rejection from the 169p level. In the coming weeks, the price may retest the 152p support level. This is due to the confluence of the trendline and the 200 MA. To avoid this bearish outlook, the shares need to break above the 169p resistance level.
