HP Inc Stock Forecast
Evaluation of HP Inc stock downgraded after the last trading session.
(Updated on Mar 28, 2024)
The HP Inc stock price gained 0.332% on the last trading day (Thursday, 28th Mar 2024), rising from $30.12 to $30.22. 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 1.13% from a day low at $30.03 to a day high of $30.37. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -1.27% for this period. Volume fell on the last day by -2 million shares and in total, 4 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $125.09 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 horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect HP Inc stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $28.70 and $31.48 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.

HPQ Signals & Forecast
There are mixed signals in the stock today. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Monday, March 11, 2024, and so far it has fallen -2.07%. 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). The HP Inc stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $30.00 and $29.48. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. 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.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for HP Inc stock
HP Inc finds support from accumulated volume at $30.00 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.
This stock is usually traded at a good volume, and with minor daily changes, the risk is considered to be low. During the last day, the stock moved $0.340 (1.13%) between high and low. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 1.01%.
Our recommended stop-loss: $29.02 (-3.97%) (This stock has low daily movements and this gives low risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 13 days ago.)
Trading Expectations (HPQ) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 1st
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 1st we expect HP Inc to open at $30.20, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $29.67 and $30.77, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.546 (+/-1.81%) up or down from last closing price. If HP Inc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.61% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $30.23 (0.03%) than the support at $30.00 (0.73%), 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.
Is HP Inc stock A Buy?
HP Inc 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.
Current score: -0.290 Hold/Accumulate Downgraded
