Red day on Thursday for LS Starrett Company (The) stock after losing 0.0629%
(Updated on Mar 28, 2024)

Buy or Hold candidate since Mar 12, 2024 Gain 0.95% PDF

The LS Starrett Company (The) stock price fell by -0.0629% on the last day (Thursday, 28th Mar 2024) from $15.90 to $15.89. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 0.252% from a day low at $15.89 to a day high of $15.93. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 0.7% over the past 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day by 73 thousand shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 93 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $1.47 million.

The stock lies in the upper part of a very wide and strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break-up at the top trend line at $15.94 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 17.90% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $12.35 and $18.79 at the end of this 3-month period.

SCX Signals & Forecast

The LS Starrett Company (The) stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $15.87 and $13.05. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Wednesday, March 27, 2024, and so far it has fallen -0.0629%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. LS Starrett Company (The) gained volume on the last day, but on falling prices. In technical terms, this is called divergence and may be an early warning. In some cases, increasing volume on falling prices may be considered positive, but that is mainly in typical "sell-offs".

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for LS Starrett Company (The) stock

LS Starrett Company (The) finds support from accumulated volume at $15.85 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

This stock may move very much during the day (volatility) and with a very large prediction interval from the Bollinger Band this stock is considered to be "very high risk". During the last day, the stock moved $0.0400 between high and low, or 0.252%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 0.391%.

The LS Starrett Company (The) stock is overbought on RSI14 and lies in the upper part of the trend. Normally this may pose a good selling opportunity for the short-term trader, but some stocks may go long and hard while being overbought. Regardless, the high RSI together with the trend position increases the risk and higher daily movements (volatility) should be expected. A correction down in the nearby future seems very likely and it is of great importance that the stock manages to break the trend before that occurs.

Our recommended stop-loss: $15.57 (-2.04%) (This stock has very high daily movements and this gives very high risk. The RSI14 is 99 and this increases the risk substantially. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 1 day ago.)

Trading Expectations (SCX) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 1st

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 1st we expect LS Starrett Company (The) to open at $15.90, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $15.51 and $16.27, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.378 (+/-2.38%) up or down from last closing price. If LS Starrett Company (The) takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 4.75% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $15.90 (0.06%) than the support at $15.85 (0.25%), 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.

Several short-term signals, along with a general good trend, are positive and we conclude that the current level may hold a buying opportunity as there is a fair chance for LS Starrett Company (The) stock to perform well in the short-term.
