Red day on Wednesday for American Woodmark Corporation
(Updated on Apr 24, 2024)
The American Woodmark Corporation stock price fell by -0.796% on the last day (Wednesday, 24th Apr 2024) from $92.91 to $92.17. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 3.58% from a day low at $90.72 to a day high of $93.97. The price has fallen in 7 of the last 10 days and is down by -5.55% for this period. Volume fell on the last day along with the stock, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the stock. On the last day, the trading volume fell by -21 thousand shares and in total, 115 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $10.61 million.
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 $90.34 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 3.63% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $93.62 and $108.24 at the end of this 3-month period.

AMWD Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Thursday, April 18, 2024, and so far it has risen 2.30%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The American Woodmark Corporation 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. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the stock giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at $96.73. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $91.37. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.
A sell signal from a double top formation was found on Thursday, March 21, 2024 with a target of $97.07. Despite whether the objective of the signal formation has been reached the stock may continue to fall.
