The Daktronics stock price gained 2.90% on the last trading day (Thursday, 18th Apr 2024), rising from $8.96 to $9.22. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 3.91% from a day low at $8.96 to a day high of $9.31. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -8.17% for this period.

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.

DAKT Signals & Forecast
Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Daktronics 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 $9.28 and $9.39. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals.

Trading Expectations (DAKT) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 19th
For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 19th we expect Daktronics to open at $9.16, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $8.86 and $9.58, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.365 (+/-3.95%) up or down from last closing price. If Daktronics takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 7.91% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $9.26 (0.43%) than the support at $8.80 (4.56%), 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.
