Lakeland Bancorp Stock Forecast

Lakeland Bancorp stock price down 2.02% on Thursday
(Updated on Apr 25, 2024)

LBAI Signals & Forecast

The Lakeland Bancorp 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 $12.21 and $11.97. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Tuesday, April 23, 2024, and so far it has fallen -2.10%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements. The stock had a Golden Star Signal on Thursday, March 28, 2024 in the short-term chart.

Golden Star Signal is when the short-term moving average, the long-term moving average, and price line meet in a special combination. This combination is very rare and often followed by long and strong gains for the stock in question.

Trading Expectations (LBAI) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 26th

For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 26th we expect Lakeland Bancorp to open at $12.51, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $12.09 and $13.07, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.489 (+/-3.89%) up or down from last closing price. If Lakeland Bancorp takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 7.78% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $12.60 (0.16%) than the support at $12.10 (3.82%), 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 Lakeland Bancorp stock A Buy?

Lakeland Bancorp 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.
