American Software Stock Forecast
American Software stock price down 0.189% on Thursday
(Updated on Apr 18, 2024)
The American Software stock price fell by -0.189% on the last day (Thursday, 18th Apr 2024) from $10.59 to $10.57. It has now fallen 6 days in a row. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.59% from a day low at $10.43 to a day high of $10.70. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -4.77% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day by 233 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, 343 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $3.63 million.
The stock is at the lower part of a wide and horizontal trend in the short term, and normally this may pose a good buying opportunity, though a breakdown through the bottom trend line at $10.27 will give a strong sell signal and a trend shift may be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect American Software stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $10.22 and $12.00 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.

AMSWA Signals & Forecast
There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The American Software 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 $11.12 and $11.27. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Wednesday, April 10, 2024, and so far it has fallen -12.35%. 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). Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the stock should be followed more closely.
