Artesian Resources Corporation Stock Forecast
Weaker technical forecast for Artesian Resources Corporation as stock downgraded to Hold/Accumulate.
(Updated on May 10, 2024)
The Artesian Resources Corporation stock price gained 1.57% on the last trading day (Friday, 10th May 2024), rising from $39.48 to $40.10. It has now gained 4 days in a row. It will be exciting to see whether it manages to continue gaining or take a minor break for the next few days. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.50% from a day low at $39.19 to a day high of $40.17. The price has risen in 8 of the last 10 days and is up by 16.23% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -7 thousand shares and in total, 29 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $1.14 million. You should take into consideration that falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes over the next couple of days.
The stock has broken the wide and weak rising the short-term trend up and an even stronger rate of rising is indicated. For any reaction back there will now be support on the roof on the current trend broken at $37.65, a level that may pose a second chance to hit a runner. According to fan-theory $41.28 will be the next possible trend-top level and thereby pose a resistance level that may not be broken at the first attempt.

ARTNA Signals & Forecast
The Artesian Resources Corporation 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 $38.18 and $35.87. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, and so far it has risen 18.92%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. 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. Volume fell during the last trading day while the price increased. This causes a divergence and may be considered as an early warning, but it may also not.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Artesian Resources Corporation stock
On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $36.63 and $35.81. There is a natural risk involved when a stock is testing a support level, since if this is broken, the stock then may fall to the next support level. In this case, Artesian Resources Corporation finds support just below today's level at $36.63. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $35.81 and $35.49.
This stock has average movements during the day, but be aware of low or falling volume as this increases the risk. During the last day, the stock moved $0.98 between high and low, or 2.50%. For the last week the stock has had daily average volatility of 2.62%.
The Artesian Resources Corporation stock is extremely overbought on RSI14 (88). Normally this may pose a good selling opportunity but since the stock has broken the trend up, the chance for a major correction due to high RSI is very small as the stock will find support at the trend broken.
Our recommended stop-loss: $38.50 (-3.98%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. The RSI14 is 88 and this increases the risk substantially. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 18 days ago.)
Trading Expectations (ARTNA) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 13th
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 13th we expect Artesian Resources Corporation to open at $39.82, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $39.17 and $41.03, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.93 (+/-2.32%) up or down from last closing price.

With no resistance above and support from accumulated volume @ $36.63, some $3.47 (8.65%) from the current price of $40.10, our system finds the risk reward attractive.

Artesian Resources Corporation holds several positive signals, but we still don't find these to be enough for a buy candidate.

Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Strong Buy to a Hold/Accumulate candidate.
