(Updated on Apr 22, 2024)
The Flaherty & Crumrine Preferred Securities stock price gained 0.358% on the last trading day (Monday, 22nd Apr 2024), rising from $13.95 to $14.00. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 0.94% from a day low at $13.87 to a day high of $14.00. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -3.45% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 7 thousand more shares were traded than the day before.

The stock is at the lower part of a horizontal trend in the short term, and normally this may pose a good buying opportunity, though a breakdown through the bottom trend line at $13.84 will give a strong sell signal and a trend shift may be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Flaherty & Crumrine Preferred Securities stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $13.94 and $15.00 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and stocks seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. Stocks turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.

Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Flaherty & Crumrine Preferred Securities stock holds a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal.
