Dreyfus High Yield Strategies Fund stock upgraded to Hold/Accumulate.
(Updated on Apr 23, 2024)

DHF Signals & Forecast

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, and so far it has risen 2.64%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Dreyfus High Yield Strategies Fund has increased volume and follows the last lift in the price. This is considered to be a technical positive sign as volume should follow the price-formation. Higher liquidity also reduces the general risk. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Dreyfus High Yield Strategies Fund 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 $2.35. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $2.30. 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). The stock had a Golden Star Signal on Monday, July 10, 2023 in the long-term chart.

Golden Star Signal is when the short-term moving average, the long-term moving average, and price line meet in a special combination. This combination is very rare and often followed by long and strong gains for the stock in question.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Dreyfus High Yield Strategies Fund stock

Dreyfus High Yield Strategies Fund finds support from accumulated volume at $2.32 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

Our recommended stop-loss: $2.21 (-5.33%) (This stock has low daily movements and this gives low risk. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 5 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (DHF) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Wednesday 24th

For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 24th we expect Dreyfus High Yield Strategies Fund to open at $2.33, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $2.30 and $2.36, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.0267 (+/-1.15%) up or down from last closing price. If Dreyfus High Yield Strategies Fund takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.29% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $2.34 (0.43%) than the support at $2.32 (0.43%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.

Is Dreyfus High Yield Strategies Fund stock A Buy?

We have upgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Sell to a Hold/Accumulate candidate.
