Agilent Technologies Inc Stock Forecast
Green day on Friday for Agilent Technologies Inc
(Updated on Apr 19, 2024)
The Agilent Technologies Inc stock price gained 0.219% on the last trading day (Friday, 19th Apr 2024), rising from $132.44 to $132.73. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.15% from a day low at $132.15 to a day high of $133.67. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -7.9% for this period. Volume fell on the last day by -851 thousand shares and in total, 1 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $133.91 million. You should take into consideration that falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes over the next couple of days.
The stock lies in the lower part of a wide and weak rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $132.67 is broken, it will firstly indicate a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning for a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 9.93% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $145.85 and $171.65 at the end of this 3-month period.

A Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Thursday, April 18, 2024, and so far it has risen 0.219%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Volume fell during the last trading day despite gaining prices. This causes a divergence between volume and price and it may be an early warning. The stock should be watched closely. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Agilent Technologies Inc stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock.
