Gilead Stock Forecast
Gilead stock upgraded to Hold/Accumulate.
(Updated on Apr 19, 2024)
The Gilead stock price gained 0.91% on the last trading day (Friday, 19th Apr 2024), rising from $66.16 to $66.76. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.01% from a day low at $66.16 to a day high of $66.83. The price has fallen in 7 of the last 10 days and is down by -4.05% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 4 million more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 11 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $711.39 million.
The stock lies in the lower of a falling trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $66.00 is broken, it will firstly indicate a stronger fall rate. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -12.10% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $58.02 and $63.11 at the end of this 3-month period. 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.

GILD Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Thursday, April 18, 2024, and so far it has risen 0.91%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Gilead 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 $67.38 and $71.57. 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).
