The Iridium Communications Inc stock price gained 2.24% on the last trading day (Tuesday, 23rd Apr 2024), rising from $28.11 to $28.74. It has now gained 4 days in a row.

Volume fell on the last day by -175 thousand shares and in total, 2 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $46.87 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.

Do note, that if the stock price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.

IRDM Signals & Forecast
The Iridium Communications Inc stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock, but the stock has a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $26.35 and $26.51. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Monday, April 15, 2024, and so far it has risen 16.59%. 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.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Iridium Communications Inc stock
On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $27.00 and $26.16. There is a natural risk involved when a stock is testing a support level, since if this is broken, the stock then may fall to the next support level. In this case, Iridium Communications Inc finds support just below today's level at $27.00. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $26.16 and $26.06.
This stock has average movements during the day and with good trading volume, the risk is considered to be medium. During the last day, the stock moved $1.04 between high and low, or 3.75%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 4.95%.
Our recommended stop-loss: $27.85 (-3.08%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 6 days ago.)
Trading Expectations (IRDM) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Wednesday 24th
For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 24th we expect Iridium Communications Inc to open at $28.43, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $27.75 and $29.73, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.99 (+/-3.44%) up or down from last closing price. If Iridium Communications Inc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 6.89% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $29.21 (1.64%) than the support at $27.00 (6.05%), 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.
