MSA Signals & Forecast
The MSA Safety Incorporporated stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock, but the stock has a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $187.47 and $188.58. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development.

Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).

Trading Expectations (MSA) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 25th
For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 25th we expect MSA Safety Incorporporated to open at $190.02, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $187.52 and $193.92, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$3.20 (+/-1.68%) up or down from last closing price.
