Red day on Thursday for Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corp
(Updated on Apr 18, 2024)

WAB Signals & Forecast

The Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corp stock holds a sell signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, there is a buy signal from the long-term average. Since the short-term average is above the long-term average there is a general buy signal in the stock giving a positive forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the short-term Moving Average at approximately $145.85. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $144.24. A break-up through the short-term average will send a buy signal, whereas a breakdown through the long-term average will send a sell signal. 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 Friday, April 05, 2024, and so far it has fallen -4.14%. 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). Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.

For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 19th we expect Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation to open at $144.51, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $142.02 and $146.52, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$2.25 (+/-1.56%) up or down from last closing price.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $144.86 (0.41%) than the support at $137.07 (4.99%), 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.
