Hiscox Ltd Stock Forecast
Hiscox Ltd stock price ended at £1,186.00 on Monday, after gaining 1.02%.
(Updated on Apr 22, 2024)
The Hiscox Ltd stock price gained 1.02% on the last trading day (Monday, 22nd Apr 2024), rising from £1,174.00 to £1,186.00. It has now gained 3 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 1.10% from a day low at £1,180.00 to a day high of £1,193.00. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days but is still down by -0.25% for this period. Volume fell on the last day by -1 million shares and in total, 804 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately £953.79 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 lies in the lower part of a wide and strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at £1,160.86 is broken, it will firstly indicate a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning for a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 21.04% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between £1,405.13 and £1,562.25 at the end of this 3-month period.

HSX.L Signals & Forecast
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. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Hiscox Ltd 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 £1,197.49. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at £1,173.14. 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. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Tuesday, April 02, 2024, and so far it has fallen -4.35%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).

Trading Expectations (HSX.L) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 23rd
For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 23rd we expect Hiscox Ltd to open at £1,186.33, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between £1,157.41 and £1,214.59, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-£28.59 (+/-2.41%) up or down from last closing price. If Hiscox Ltd takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 4.82% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at £1,193.00 (0.59%) than the support at £1,174.00 (1.01%), 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.
