Procter & Gamble Stock Forecast
Procter & Gamble stock upgraded from Hold/Accumulate to Buy Candidate after Monday trading session.
(Updated on Apr 22, 2024)
The Procter & Gamble stock price gained 1.52% on the last trading day (Monday, 22nd Apr 2024), rising from $158.14 to $160.54. It has now gained 6 days in a row. It is not often that stocks manage to gain so many days in a row, and falls for a day or two should be expected. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.56% from a day low at $157.25 to a day high of $161.29. The price has risen in 8 of the last 10 days and is up by 2.88% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -3 million shares and in total, 7 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $1.12 billion. 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 narrow and horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Procter & Gamble stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $156.86 and $164.47 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.

PG Signals & Forecast
Mostly positive signals in the chart today. The Procter & Gamble 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 $157.09 and $159.33. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Friday, April 12, 2024, and so far it has risen 3.35%. 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. The stock had a Golden Star Signal on Wednesday, November 22, 2023 in the long-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.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Procter & Gamble stock
Procter & Gamble finds support from accumulated volume at $155.62 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 $4.03 between high and low, or 2.56%. For the last week the stock has had daily average volatility of 1.67%.
Since the Procter & Gamble has been rising for 6 days in a row, the risk over the next couple of days has increased. We don't expect a major reaction as the stock is in very good shape technically, and therefore hold a positive evaluation despite the very short term risk.
Our recommended stop-loss: $153.22 (-4.56%) (This stock has low daily movements and this gives low risk. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 6 days ago.)
Trading Expectations (PG) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 23rd
For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 23rd we expect Procter & Gamble Company (The) to open at $159.69, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $158.50 and $162.58, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$2.04 (+/-1.27%) up or down from last closing price. If Procter & Gamble Company (The) takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.54% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $161.38 (0.52%) than the support at $155.62 (3.06%), 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.
