Mastech Holdings, Inc Stock Forecast

Mastech Holdings, Inc stock upgraded to Buy Candidate.
(Updated on Apr 18, 2024)

MHH Signals & Forecast

The Mastech Holdings, Inc 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 $8.89 and $8.83. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. 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 Thursday, April 04, 2024, and so far it has fallen -1.71%. 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 fell on the last day without any changes to the price. This does not cause any direct divergence but may be an early warning and a possible "turning point". The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued.

For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 19th we expect Mastech Holdings, Inc to open at $8.89, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $8.74 and $9.09, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.177 (+/-1.98%) up or down from last closing price.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $9.00 (0.95%) than the support at $8.78 (1.51%), 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.
