Hologic Stock Forecast
Hologic stock upgraded from Sell Candidate to Hold/Accumulate after Thursday trading session.
(Updated on Apr 18, 2024)
The Hologic stock price gained 0.240% on the last trading day (Thursday, 18th Apr 2024), rising from $74.92 to $75.10. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 0.95% from a day low at $74.53 to a day high of $75.24. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -2.82% loss for the last 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -176 thousand shares and in total, 1 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $108.68 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 lies in the lower part of a weak rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $74.98 is broken, it will firstly indicate a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning for a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 4.99% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $78.72 and $82.77 at the end of this 3-month period.

HOLX Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, and so far it has risen 0.240%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. 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 Hologic stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $76.48 and $76.16. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Hologic stock
Hologic finds support from accumulated volume at $74.41 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.
In general the stock tends to have very controlled movements and with good liquidity the risk is considered very low in this stock. During the last day, the stock moved $0.705 between high and low, or 0.95%. For the last week the stock has had daily average volatility of 1.68%.
Our recommended stop-loss: $70.83 (-5.69%) (This stock has low daily movements and this gives low risk. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 1 day ago.)
Trading Expectations (HOLX) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 19th
For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 19th we expect Hologic to open at $74.96, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $73.88 and $76.32, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.22 (+/-1.63%) up or down from last closing price. If Hologic takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.25% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at $74.41 (0.92%) than the resistance at $75.91 (1.08%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..
