PRU Signals & Forecast
Mostly positive signals in the chart today. The Prudential Financial Inc stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock, but the stock has a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $112.82 and $113.15. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, and so far it has risen 8.27%. 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). 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.

For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 8th we expect Prudential Financial Inc to open at $116.31, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $114.17 and $118.29, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$2.06 (+/-1.77%) up or down from last closing price.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $116.29 (0.05%) than the support at $111.74 (3.86%), 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.
