WD-40 Company Stock Forecast
Weaker technical forecast for WD-40 Company as stock downgraded to Hold/Accumulate.
(Updated on Mar 28, 2024)
The WD-40 Company stock price gained 1.44% on the last trading day (Thursday, 28th Mar 2024), rising from $249.71 to $253.31. 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 2.01% from a day low at $250.16 to a day high of $255.18. The price has risen in 7 of the last 10 days and is up by 0.04% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -325 thousand shares and in total, 77 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $19.51 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 is moving within a wide and horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect WD-40 Company stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $246.57 and $274.67 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and stocks seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. Stocks turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.

WDFC Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Monday, March 25, 2024, and so far it has risen 2.49%. 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. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The WD-40 Company 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 $258.72. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $251.66. 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.

Is WD-40 Company stock A Buy?
WD-40 Company holds several positive signals, but we still don't find these to be enough for a buy candidate. At the current level, it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development. Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Buy to a Hold/Accumulate candidate.
