KLA Corporation Stock Forecast
KLA Corporation stock price down 0.336% on Monday
(Updated on Apr 15, 2024)
The KLA Corporation stock price fell by -0.336% on the last day (Monday, 15th Apr 2024) from $680.78 to $678.49. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 3.89% from a day low at $672.53 to a day high of $698.70. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -4.56% loss for the last 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day by 76 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, 807 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $547.86 million.
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 $678.26 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 17.97% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $800.11 and $911.40 at the end of this 3-month period.
KLAC Signals & Forecast
There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The KLA Corporation stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $688.21 and $694.63. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, March 07, 2024, and so far it has fallen -6.19%. 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). Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the stock should be followed more closely.

Trading Expectations (KLAC) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 16th
For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 16th we expect KLA Corporation to open at $683.24, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $659.19 and $697.79, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$19.30 (+/-2.84%) up or down from last closing price. If KLA Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 5.69% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $683.90 (0.80%) than the support at $641.69 (5.42%), 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.
