(Updated on Apr 19, 2024)

CNI Signals & Forecast

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, and so far it has risen 0.488%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. 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. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Canadian National Railway Company stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $127.97 and $129.68. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Canadian National Railway Company stock

Canadian National Railway Company finds support from accumulated volume at $126.95 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

Trading Expectations (CNI) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 22nd

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 22nd we expect Canadian National Railway Company to open at $127.86, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $125.65 and $129.65, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$2.00 (+/-1.57%) up or down from last closing price. If Canadian National Railway Company takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.13% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at $126.95 (0.55%) than the resistance at $128.86 (0.95%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..

Is Canadian National Railway Company stock A Buy?

Canadian National Railway Company holds several negative signals and this should be a sell candidate, but due to the general chance for a turnaround situation 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: 0.672 Hold/Accumulate Downgraded
