MGIC Investment Corporation Stock Forecast

Green day on Friday for MGIC Investment Corporation stock after gaining 0.589%
(Updated on Apr 26, 2024)

MTG Signals & Forecast

There are mixed signals in the stock today. The MGIC Investment 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 $20.76. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $20.12. 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). A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, and so far it has risen 5.68%. 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.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for MGIC Investment Corporation stock

MGIC Investment Corporation finds support from accumulated volume at $19.97 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

This stock has average movements during the day and with good trading volume, the risk is considered to be medium. During the last day, the stock moved $0.380 between high and low, or 1.88%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 1.88%.

Since the MGIC Investment Corporation has been rising for 7 days in a row, the risk over the next couple of days has increased. As we cannot be certain with regards to the size of the reaction, we urge caution.

Our recommended stop-loss: $19.63 (-4.14%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 7 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (MTG) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 29th

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 29th we expect MGIC Investment Corporation to open at $20.45, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $20.08 and $20.88, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.404 (+/-1.97%) up or down from last closing price. If MGIC Investment Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.95% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $20.55 (0.34%) than the support at $19.97 (2.49%), 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 MGIC Investment Corporation stock A Buy?

MGIC Investment Corporation holds several positive signals, but we still don't find these to be enough for a buy candidate. At the current level, it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development.

Current score: -0.614 Hold/Accumulate Unchanged
